The Problem

In product and innovation teams, it's crucial that everyone understands the terminology and methods we use. Team intelligence matters.

There's a plethora of buzzwords, acronyms, and the latest product operations and strategy trends, often rebranded for differentiation leading to more confusion than clarity.

There’s agile, scrum, kanban, SAFe, waterfall, SAFe 6, ProductOps, DevOps, and DesignOps. What does it all f***ing mean?

If only a small percentage of your team truly understands these concepts how valuable can they really be?

While we know there is incredible value in several of these concepts, there is a large gap between theory and practical implementation that our teams can quickly implement and understand. The implementation and knowledge curve here is enormous, risky, and expensive.

In business, significant progress often stems from gut feelings or leadership's change in direction. We understand this. However, 80% of our work involves continuously understanding our customers and delivering it to them (at scale).

The Solution

We need a collective problem-solving methodology for 80% of our time. Calling an audible is great, but justifying the lack of a collective, scalable plan with “things are always changing” leads to endless problems.

The irony here is that by “componentizing” agile, we become much better equipped to effectively and collectively change direction.

Our Mission

Common Language has made it’s mission to break down agile problem-solving methodologies to make them more accessible and truly agile.

We're tired of endless bureaucratic product operation meetings and reorganizations. We believe there’s a better way.

Our goal is to advance innovation by defining a best practices product operations baseline and making it more accessible and smarter over time. Too many great ideas and products need better product ops and strategy to support them.

We believe great products and business are made by well orchestrated teams, not by isolated designers, PMs, engineers, and marketing pros. Our mission is to continue understanding and documenting best practice product operations processes and making them accessible to product teams everywhere.

Wether you’re a stakeholder, product manager, product designer, engineer, or marketer the truth is that well orchestrated teams and great product outcomes are interdependent.

These frameworks will iteratively evolve over time. This is all part of the continuous development process and we will continue to get better as we learn more.

Join our waitlist and help us move innovation forward with a “common language” for product builders and professionals.
