Article of the Week

In the realm of innovation, we often find inspiration where we least expect it. Have you ever considered the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as a playbook for software delivery? I doubt it. But as you consider the parallels between these two worlds in our latest piece, you might find yourself rethinking.

The MCU's Infinity Saga - a stunning combination of vision, MVP strategy, and customer focus - mirrors the path to stellar software product delivery. The masterstroke lies in maintaining the intricate balance between commercial interests and creativity, much like the challenges we face in product management. Interested? Give it a read and explore the MCU through the lens of a product manager. You’ll be surprised at what you can uncover!
