Training + hands-on workshop · Full day (5h)
Most product discovery either takes weeks you don't have, or gets skipped entirely — and teams end up building the wrong thing, fast. Lean Inception is the pragmatic middle ground: a structured, time-boxed way to align a team around what to build, why, and for whom — in a single day.
This session blends focused training with a live, hands-on workshop. You'll learn the method, then immediately apply it. Come with a real product challenge from your work, or join a group tackling a shared case — either way, you leave with practiced skills and a concrete artifact: an MVP canvas you can actually use on Monday.

What you'll walk away with
A clear mental model of Lean Inception and when it beats alternatives (Design Sprints, Discovery workshops, full Dual-Track Agile)
Hands-on practice with the core canvases: product vision, personas, user journeys, features, and MVP scope
A completed MVP canvas for your own challenge (or the shared case)
Facilitation patterns you can reuse to run your own inceptions afterward

Who this is for
UX designers who want impact beyond Figma
Developers tired of building the wrong thing and want a seat at the discovery table
Founders who need to align co-founders, early hires, or investors on MVP scope
Product managers looking for a repeatable framework to cut scope without cutting value and ability to apply continuous discovery to their product

As a bonus I will show you how to meaningfully use AI in your product discovery practice

Its not only sticky notes and designers' fun, its actually created to host space for technical people, business people and designers to work together.

Format
The day is split into short training segments followed by group work. Groups of 6-8 work in parallel — bring your own product challenge and your group will focus on it, or join a group working through a shared case we'll build together. Either path gives you the full experience; both end with a real MVP canvas.
What to bring
A product challenge you're genuinely stuck on (optional but recommended) and a willingness to spar — this works best when you push back, question assumptions, and treat your groupmates as thinking partners, not audience.
