Article
A major hurdle faced by our client was the centralization of legacy application product knowledge solely within individual employees. The absence of a dedicated product management function meant that there was a lack of a comprehensive modernization plan for the large application. With no prioritized roadmap in place, development teams were struggling with ever-shifting priorities and missing release dates, leading to an increase in technical debt, resource issues, missed opportunities, and a growing organizational distrust in the product team’s delivery capabilities.
BP3 embarked on a solution through:
Discovery Workshops with Product Team Leaders:
- Identified and gained understanding of the larger boulders of work that needed to get broken down.
- Mapped underlying business processes crucial for the modernization effort.
Developing a ‘Now, Next, Later’ Roadmap:
- Articulated prioritized work by way of value add.
- Visualized the anticipated value that would be incrementally delivered.
- Secured buy-in from organizational leaders on direction and priority.
Our approach culminated in:
- Alignment between stakeholders and the product team on the product direction and priority.
- A realistic product management strategy focussed on value and outcomes over output alone.
- Reduction in product delivery risk.
- Enhanced development efficiency and improved resource planning.
This solution is a testament to BP3’s expertise in transforming complex legacy systems into streamlined, modern applications, emphasizing strategic planning, stakeholder alignment, and value-focused roadmapping.
