Driving Innovation in Established Companies

This week we hosted a Meet Up for Product Owners. Our Senior PO Nick was leading an open discussion about strategies to identify opportunities, ideate solutions, evangelize plans, and iterate on them with customers. We shared Vistaprint’s innovation successes and failures at an international billion dollar scale through stories of reinventing existing software with other product leaders from different tech companies.
What would be the next topic?

Boston, New York, Prague

The Pulsar Squad in Prague recently started working on personalized recommendations that are displayed on Vistaprint web site. Up until now, this domain was owned by squads in our Waltham (Boston) office.

When they started working on the project, they scheduled meetings with the stakeholders and the developers who are familiar with the domain. They wanted to find the best way to have the knowledge transfer and start to build a roadmap.

After a couple of brainstorming sessions, it was clear that a visit to Waltham office would be the best step to take. This way they could meet all stakeholders face-to-face, schedule #mobprogramming sessions with the developers in the US and visit the famous #SamuelAdams brewery in Boston 😊

Jiri Adamek, one of our engineers, was the speaker of the #bigdata meet up organized by Prague Software Craftsmanship.

He gave an overview of the existing technologies on the market and demonstrated how using a few different data sets could help the police catch a hotel room #thief.

The event had the right mix of people interested in the topic. One #datascientist working in finance; one great #python guy, in town for the #pycon conference, and a #techblogger

The Warhol squad is working on Identity Service, a #microservice for authentication and authorization.

In our transition to a microservice based architecture, Identity Service is an important milestone.
