Regardless of what industry you operate in, your capacity to develop, validate, and bring new products to market is paramount. Research from the 280 Group showed that an optimized product development function on its own could increase company profits by <a href=\"https:\/\/pm.280group.com\/challenges-in-product-management-survey-results\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">34.2%<\/a>. This often comes down to having the right product development team on board.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s article, we\u2019re going to discuss how you can build and manage a team that will effectively support you in digital product development.

Hiring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"241\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/VK3PlPl40Wypp7qQwUUa1jvI5LX2nnOYfEWmg-gpnXR6HG3HYCraPEsUMMucIRgE4iWrhoclHj5prWCfNiEHzCwoXDMCMdZkk3aZh4OpTMK1u0VZdw9FOxYXvjtVTf1iRIrE3P4N=s0\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should go without saying that you want to assemble the best possible people as part of your product development team.&nbsp; Here are some principles to keep in mind that will help you do exactly that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hire-for-both-hard-and-soft-skills\">Hire for both hard and soft skills<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not enough to just hire technical wonderkids. Apart from first-class hard skills, they should also possess the right soft skills including communication, teamwork and problem-solving abilities. Only then they will be able to positively contribute to product and design development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-create-a-skills-inventory\">Create a skills inventory<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Work on identifying the skills that you currently have access to and those areas in which you\u2019re lacking. This exercise will help you understand the sorts of skills that you should be looking to go out and hire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-the-right-skills-assessment-methods\">Use the right skills assessment methods<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re evaluating potential hires, it\u2019s crucial that you use the right type of skills assessment test for the specific use case. This will help you ensure that you aren\u2019t wasting time and resources on irrelevant assessments or candidates that aren\u2019t fit for the role.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-be-proactive-when-searching-for-talent\">Be proactive when searching for talent<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"177\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/UlGiHopjFtgaix_M-Q1JwC_Efpe-N4RH9_Lv0V29X8F4tUAgdtXX81CpBHHpLFixv4IZMX2aYIIcgTtgoxUMMXQPnBJh2RKBI9BUZqZsrUP71oM281pa8Bh3NALMHg7_l5Gaib5h=s0\"><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to remember that top performers almost never come through open job applications. They\u2019re in high demand and usually, they can sit back and wait for opportunities to come to them. As such, it\u2019s important that you use platforms like <a href=\"https:\/\/stackoverflow.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">StackOverflow<\/a>, LinkedIn, and referrals from your network to proactively search for the best talent and bring it into your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-leadership\">2. Leadership<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The next important component to ensure smooth product planning and development is creating the right product culture. And that needs to be set from the very top.&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/zombie-business-cultures-david-slocum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ben Horowitz<\/a>, famed entrepreneur, and businessperson, explains it as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cCulture isn\u2019t a magical set of rules that makes everyone behave the way you\u2019d like.&nbsp; It\u2019s a system of behaviors that you hope most people will follow most of the time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The way that you encourage these behaviors is by clearly communicating a vision for where you want the product and the team to go.&nbsp; Everyone is looking to the leaders for this clarity and it helps to ensure that everyone is pulling in the same direction and working towards achieving the same goal. Without this alignment, your culture is left to the whims of the lowest common denominator and that can be very harmful to overall team dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important principle is that you should aim to empower your team rather than micromanage them.&nbsp; The most talented designers and developers don\u2019t want to feel like someone is watching over their shoulder all the time. They want to work independently and feel like they have the trust of their leaders. The role of a good leader is to support his team with whatever resources, direction, and incentives they can, but then step out of the way so that each person can do what they do best.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-internal-processes\">3. Internal Processes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is to make sure that your internal operations are set up in the most efficient and effective way possible to enable smooth product planning and development. Here are some of the things that you should be considering here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-decide-on-the-right-team-structure\">Decide on the right team structure<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To maximize the collaboration in your product development team, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/design-team-structure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">you need to have a solid structure<\/a> that creates the space that your people need to do what they do best. This is key \u2013 if you get it wrong, you\u2019ll find that your progress is impeded quite significantly, and you might not even realize it. Here are three common structures that could work for your team:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Centralized Team Structure.<\/strong>&nbsp; In this setup, your entire product development team works in one location, all under one key decision-maker.&nbsp; When you do this, your developers work as mini-agencies, essentially being deployed to various projects as and when needed. You benefit from shared knowledge and experiences while also unifying the product development principles throughout the organization.&nbsp; The downside is that your team is somewhat isolated from the rest of the business which can lead to misalignment.<\/li><li><strong>Embedded Team Structure.<\/strong>&nbsp; Here individual product developers are integrated into teams across the organization in a cross-functional way. This means that each individual is deeply embedded in specific products which is great for focus, but it does result in some duplicated work because other developers might not know exactly what you\u2019re working on.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Flexible Team Structure.<\/strong>&nbsp; This is where you combine the centralized approach with the embedded one. Developers are still integrated into specific teams, but they also report to a head of product development that seeks to align everyone and unify the approach. This flexibility is very valuable but also can result in wires being crossed when team members aren\u2019t sure who to report to and who should be making the final decision.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no one right option here because everything will depend on your unique company circumstances and the sorts of products you\u2019re working on. It\u2019s worth revisiting this every now and then to find the right option for you, also don\u2019t be shy to experiment.&nbsp; A great example of this comes from<a href=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/resources\/product-team-evolution\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Buffer<\/a>, a social media automation company that has changed their product team setup multiple times until they stumbled across the right results in terms of effectiveness and information flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-tools-that-improve-design-development-team-collaboration\">Use Tools That Improve Design-Development Team Collaboration<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/NvIwRt6o-AoCKqD8WQXuKMMH0LdvG2c6OXE9ZT4gXBf9FufbmUUF4xjsQ-JH2zUlNRMtOUg3XfXTjl3dAFZvePmnfG8iPMq7nQYkIR0nMbA6Dk3AgSDdqigMLqgmuWGlVqTEZHZm=s0\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Great software can be a fantastic asset for improving the collaboration between your design and your development teams so that everything goes as smoothly as possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>For brainstorming within the product development team you might want to consider tools like<a href=\"https:\/\/miro.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Miro<\/a> that offer powerful visual collaboration spaces for teams of all sizes.<\/li><li>For building error-free prototypes fast, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/merge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UXPin Merge<\/a> will help you leverage ready UI code components to accelerate the process while also simplifying a few traditional product development <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/better-design-handoff\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">processes like handoff<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a wide variety of other technological tools&nbsp; that could be helpful \u2013 so look out for those gaps in your processes, and see if there are solutions to help you tighten them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-create-product-briefs\">Create Product Briefs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Product development can very quickly expand beyond its original scope if you don\u2019t have the right context and guardrails in place to keep the project on track. One of the best ways to do this is to codify your thinking and plans into comprehensive product briefs. These documents align everyone\u2019s expectations and record the direction that the product is going in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nicole Burrow, <a href=\"https:\/\/spotify.design\/article\/making-the-band-building-exceptional-design-teams-at-spotify\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">design director for CX at Spotify<\/a> articulated this perfectly when she said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cA key ingredient in team success is ensuring they have all the context they need. I introduced this collaborative brief that designers develop alongside their product counterparts, so they always have the \u201cwhy\u201d defined before they start ideating. This helps us align on what problem we\u2019re trying to solve and why this is important to the business at the outset of the hypothesis development stage.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-organize-regular-meetings\">Organize Regular Meetings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Along the way, you should be looking to organize regular meetings for your product development team to come together and make sure that everyone is up to date with what\u2019s going on.&nbsp; These could include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Daily standup meetings<\/strong> to build accountability and ensure that the whole product development team knows what everyone else is working on.<\/li><li><strong>One-on-one meetings<\/strong> with the team leader to clarify direction and look for opportunities to improve.<\/li><li><strong>Team meetups<\/strong> to go through sprint planning exercises and retro meetings to assess progress.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These meetings are crucial to managing the project and should act as a valuable check and balance to keep everything in line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-decide-on-appropriate-performance-evaluations\">Decide on Appropriate Performance Evaluations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important that you select the right evaluation techniques to monitor and measure performance.&nbsp; This needs to be done not just on an individual level, but also at a team level.&nbsp; The most common framework implemented by great companies is the Objectives &amp; Key Results framework (OKRs).&nbsp; One example is Sears who saw an<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/sears-holding-company-study-shows-okrs-impact-bottom-line-ben-lamorte\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> 8.5%<\/a> increase in hourly sales within 18 months of introducing the system. And those results have been repeated by numerous other companies who have done the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OKRs are a robust method for setting and tracking goals. The objective states what is to be achieved, and the key results explain what it\u2019s going to take to achieve that objective. This allows you to create cascading goals that are systematically linked \u2013 pushing you towards the north star mission while managing all the smaller steps along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-career-progression\">4. Career Progression<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, if we zoom out from one specific project and think about your product development life cycle as a whole, it\u2019s crucial that you give your top performers a clear path in terms of career progression. You want to design career paths that align with the goals of your team members so that they feel valued and purposeful. <a href=\"https:\/\/spotify.design\/article\/making-the-band-building-exceptional-design-teams-at-spotify\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify <\/a>does this with their Y shape progression which gives designers the decision between moving into management or continuing to refine their design skills to become an expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/d6pTogKfkt0Pej5HEU1VaHf3UrqONFHg6VSogZlRzUEKjQf5FWlWsCk2IJE1bhW-C_GdQ7k7qxmrnh-bH7b3nAMxtRjXoTGRHdfJVsblrlUbAJ2yJWE2pxLsJag9hae-kcjzu1PU=s0\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a clear progression makes for a much more stable working environment where employees know where they stand.&nbsp; This is critical for retention and for maintaining morale throughout each product development cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-summary\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>And there you have it.&nbsp; Those are some of the core principles that can help you build and manage an effective product development team.&nbsp; When you implement these and focus on the key action steps \u2013 you\u2019ll find that your digital product development moves to an entirely different level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Operationally, there are few things that will deliver a better ROI on your time and investment than getting your product development team in sync.\u00a0 Now is the time to rethink your processes and get these best practices into your organization as soon as you can.
