PopcornFlow Template

This doc is my
Coda.io
⁠
adaptation of the PopcornFlow method to experimentation.
Product Management leader
John Cutler
⁠
posted a video called
The Work That Makes the Work Work
⁠
about a change management method called PopcornFlow, originally developed by
Claudio Perrone
⁠
. What attracted me to the method was how it prioritized momentum and making change continuous. One of the example Claudio gives is how a team that implemented PopcornFlow was able to run between five to ten of them a week. To be able to pull something like this off the experiments and the the process to create, prioritize and review them needs designed in a way to remove as much drag as possible.
Here's how this doc is structured:

PopcornFlow

⁠
Problems and Observations
⁠
⁠
Have you and your team enter your problems and observations, options and rough experiment ideas here. Decide on the ones your team wants to commit to.
⁠
Add Experiment Details
⁠
⁠
For the experiments you will commit to, flush them out with details about what you expect to happen as a result of the experiment, and other timing details.
⁠
PopcornFlow Board
⁠
⁠
A simple board to see what flushed out ideas are in your backlog, and which ones are in progress.
⁠
Retrospective
⁠
⁠
Follow the PopcornFlow retrospective template questions and review the results of your experiments together as a group.

If you don't so much like the guided method, I've also created a page that shows a full end-to-end PopcornFlow board, adapted for this doc.
