Łukasz Filut is a product development practitioner and founder of Plucky Rebels. He has worked as CTO, Head of Product, CEO, Product Owner, Scrum Master and Agile Coach, which gives him a rather practical view on what happens when product thinking meets budgets, deadlines, legacy systems and real users.
He helps startups, SMEs and larger organisations move from ideas and roadmaps to products that actually work in the market. In the last year, two companies he supported achieved successful exits, including one above 100M, while Plucky Rebels also helped one client double its user base.
His work focuses on the space between product discovery, delivery and governance: how teams make decisions, what they choose not to build, and how they connect agile practices with measurable business outcomes.
Workshop—What does your portfolio have to do with your roadmap? Everything.
A workshop for agile people working in project driven organisations.
Many organisations talk about becoming more product oriented, but their everyday management system is still built around projects, initiatives, budgets and portfolio decisions.
For Product Owners and Product Managers this creates a very practical problem. They may have a product vision, a roadmap and a backlog, but the organisation evaluates work through criteria they often do not fully know or understand. As a result, product work can lose priority not because it is unimportant, but because it is described in a way that does not fit how the organisation makes decisions.
In this workshop, participants will work with a realistic case: the organisation has projects, the Product Owner has a product, and both sides need to find a way to work without unnecessary conflict.
We will explore what a portfolio is, how portfolio rules influence product work, why product goals often fail to compete with better described projects, and how product people can use existing governance to build stronger awareness of product vision, strategy and outcomes.
The workshop is not about fighting project management. It is about understanding where project management helps, where it leaves gaps, and how product management can complement it with clearer customer value, product direction and outcome thinking.
