Avoid Exploding Watermelons: Insights From a $20M Modernization

Are you modernizing and sunsetting a legacy product?

Are you worried that your initiative will go over budget and under perform, like 80% of the modernization initiatives?

Learn how to:

🌟 Reduce costs and timelines while delivering greater value sooner

🌟Deliver quick wins while minimizing technical debt

🌟Better estimate the project’s actual size

🌟Avoid Exploding Watermelons and the Titanic Syndrome

Kevin Mireles will share key insights he developed after leading a $20M on a modernization project, where they made most every mistake possible.

He will explain:

  • Why the Minimum Viable Product approach almost guarantees disaster.
  • How the Minimum Viable Replacement framework enables you to avoid costly rework.
  • How the Watermeon Detector can help you quickly identify, mitigate, and communicate critical risks.

This tool incorporates the hard-won wisdom gained from 20-years of product/project management, leading a $20M modernization and the integration of a $100M+ acquisiton, into a simple worksheet that enables you to quickly identify common risks, mitigate, and communicate them.
