Comparing Product Team Services
Product Discovery Workshop vs. Product Advisory
Both serve product teams in established organisations. One is a bounded, hands-on training. The other is an ongoing relationship. Here's the difference.
Not sure? Let's talk →The Quick Answer
If your team needs to learn and practice a discovery methodology together in a defined, hands-on format, start with the Product Discovery Workshop. If you need an ongoing strategic partner for evolving challenges across strategy, discovery, and team coaching, Product Advisory is the better fit.
When to Choose Each
Choose the Discovery Workshop if...
- You want a defined 2-day (or 3x5h) format with a clear start and end
- Your team needs shared language and a shared discovery methodology - fast
- You want hands-on practice with real opportunities, not just theory
- Budget and scope need to be fixed and predictable
Choose Product Advisory if...
- Your challenges shift over time - strategy one month, team coaching the next
- You want an ongoing sparring partner, not a single event
- You need support across product strategy, product discovery, and team capability
- You're comfortable with a 3-6 month engagement, not a single session
FAQs
Can the workshop lead into Advisory?
Yes - it's a common path. Teams often run the Discovery Workshop first to build the shared foundation, then continue into Product Advisory for ongoing support applying it.
Which is better for a single team vs. multiple teams?
The Discovery Workshop works well for a single team or a small group. For multiple teams or org-wide practice building, Product Advisory or Product Model Transformation are usually a better fit.
What if we just need one workshop, not ongoing support?
That's exactly what the Discovery Workshop is for - it's a standalone engagement, no ongoing commitment required.
