Helping Teams Work on the Right Thing at the Right Time
Hello, my name is Dan Stewart. I am a product owner. Welcome to my personal website. The best way to learn something is to teach it. Having a website energizes me to study and share my experience. Please invite me to connect with you on LinkedIn. I would love to be a part of your network.
My Process
Roadmap
Leadership communicates their organizational goals. I align our team with those goals and develop a roadmap using Smartsheets. I do this by working alongside an executive director.
Why Roadmap?Gather Requirements
Once the roadmap is decided, I start to gather requirements with stakeholders. They attend design meetings where the team creates rapid prototypes using Figma.
Ask Good QuestionsBacklog Management
From the requirements, specifications, and designs, I start building and prioritizing a backlog of issues in Jira.
Organize and BeginUser Acceptance Testing
I work with a quality assurance team using Enterprise Tester to review the work that was completed. Then I schedule user acceptance testing sessions.
Measure Twice, Cut OnceRelease Notes
After the feature is released, I write release notes and post them to a Google Site. I also email them to certain distribution groups and individual stakeholders. Release notes describe the feature and the business value it brings.
Have a VoiceMonitor
I measure the value of the product. This can come from direct user engagement, stakeholder interviews, and reviewing Dynatrace log entries.
