Speed

What’s the number one cause of project delays? It may surprise you. Incorrect priorities. Alternatively, when priorities are clear and correct, a project is never delayed because people are working on the wrong thing. Did you know that if you double the amount of time you have correct priorities you will cut project times by 50%? That’s fast.

Agility

Speed isn’t the only goal. R&D projects have a lot of uncertainty, so product developers need a tool that supports flexibility. Playbook makes it easy to adopt to changes by allowing you to create flexible plans and model scenarios before you make critical decisions. Go fast, but be agile too.

Focus

When everyone has correct priorities, there’s no need to multitask just to show progress on everything. This allows everyone to stay focused on the most important task until it’s complete. You’ll notice more work getting done faster. But it’s not because they’re working harder. They’re working smarter.

Empowerment

When everyone has correct priorities and all of the work is visible, amazing things start to happen. Communication increases. Trust develops. Team members hold each other accountable. Morale increases. And teams finally get back to doing what they’ve always dreamed of – creating great products.

Playbook creates flow for fast product development teams.
Collaboration becomes barrier free.
Teams hold themselves accountable.
And innovation becomes predictable.

Great teams deserve great tools.
