In my recent conversation with product strategy expert Scott Sehlhorst, we tackled how Agile and Scrum need a reboot to meet the demands of modern, complex software projects. While Agile and Scrum were groundbreaking, the explosion in software complexity since their inception has revealed significant gaps in supporting strategic, product-centric development.

Key insights from Scott include:

1. 𝗔 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁-𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵: Traditional Scrum roles and processes were built for a different era. Today’s teams need frameworks that empower development teams as strategic partners, not just order-takers.
2. 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀-𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Scott emphasizes that product, design, and engineering must work together continuously, rather than relying on a handoff model. The “product trio” approach ensures that customer value, technical feasibility, and design are aligned throughout the development process.
3. 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲: Instead of just meeting sprint timelines, iterations should focus on delivering full features that address real customer needs.
4. 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: Scott shares why empowering teams to determine the how of product builds can unlock greater creativity and faster problem-solving.
