Product workshops

We're convinced that the right workshops produce the right solutions. Designed to help you take a step back, align your teams and take concrete steps forward, our workshops are tailor-made to your context and challenges.

Your issues

When a product topic is stagnating or your teams need to regain clarity and dynamism, our workshops are tailored to your needs: clarifying a product vision, formalizing user requirements, prioritizing the roadmap, exploring an AI or data use case, aligning stakeholders, or acculturating your teams to new practices.

Our workshops differ from traditional meetings and top-down training courses. They are lively, well-structured and results-oriented, with a clear objective and concrete deliverables that will stay with you long after the session.

FAQ - 5 Degrés Workshops

How long does a product workshop last?

The group workshop lasts at least 3.5 hours and can last up to 3 days, depending on the complexity of the project and the number of participants. It is part of a broader process: a one-hour kick-off session to define the issue, a pre-workshop session of at least one hour to collaboratively develop the agenda and define the deliverables, the workshop itself, and then a one- to two-hour wrap-up session. An optional immersion phase may precede the entire process when a deeper understanding of the product context is required. 

What is the difference between a product workshop and a training session?

A training course delivers content from the top down. A workshop starts with your real-world challenges and develops a solution together with your teams: our experts facilitate, structure, and challenge, but the content comes from the group. The difference is measured by the outcome. A training course leaves you with course materials; a workshop leaves you with a decision, a framework, or a shared vision—all of which can be put to immediate use the very next week. 

What topics can be covered in a product workshop?

Those who are stuck due to a lack of dedicated team time: clarifying a product vision, formalizing user needs as use cases, prioritizing a roadmap, aligning stakeholders with divergent interests, exploring a data or AI use case, or helping a team adapt to new practices. Depending on the topic, we engage one or more of our five Practices. 

What deliverables are produced at the end of a workshop?

These are defined in collaboration with you during the pre-workshop and are never standardized. After the session, our experts analyze the data collected and compile it into documents enriched with analyses and recommendations: a formalized vision, use case mapping, a prioritized roadmap, user journeys, and an action plan. The criterion for success is simple: the deliverables must remain usable by your teams for several months after the workshop, without our involvement.

Should we conduct a product maturity assessment before the workshop?

No, it is not a prerequisite. The assessment takes place during the immersion phase, which is itself optional. It becomes useful when the issue has not yet been clarified, or when several topics are competing without a clear priority: it then provides an objective assessment of the situation based on more than 100 criteria divided into 20 themes, which makes it possible to identify the right workshop rather than simply addressing the first topic raised.

Can the workshops be conducted remotely?

Yes. Our consultants work out of our three offices in Paris, Bordeaux, and Toulouse, either in person or remotely, depending on how your teams are organized. We recommend in-person sessions for alignment workshops involving many stakeholders, where group dynamics play a key role in the outcome. For technical scoping or a team already accustomed to remote work, the remote format works very well.
