What problem does it solve? Most product organizations operate as feature factories: teams receive roadmaps of dated features, skip discovery, and ship things nobody wants. This Skill helps you diagnose that pattern and apply Marty Cagan's empowered product teams framework to shift from output-driven delivery to outcome-driven discovery. ## Core Features & Use Cases - 7-Point Team Diagnostic: Score any product team 0-7 across discovery practice, engineer involvement, outcome ownership, and delivery cadence, with specific fixes for each failed row. - Discovery Technique Guidance: Apply the four-risks framework (value, usability, feasibility, viability) with prototyping methods, behavioral interview scripts, and evidence thresholds for validated ideas. - Opportunity Assessment & Strategy: Evaluate opportunities with structured questions, build product vision and strategy, and translate them into outcome-based OKRs and roadmaps. - Use Case: A VP of Product suspects their teams are a feature factory. Run the Quick Diagnostic, score 3/7, then use the stakeholder management and empowered teams references to pilot one team's transformation over 90 days. ## Quick Start Score my product team against the empowered teams diagnostic and tell me which rows we fail and how to fix them.
