Most teams don’t suffer from a lack of effort—they suffer from a lack of alignment. Goals are misaligned, boundaries are unclear, and work often centres on internal priorities instead of user needs— resulting in frustration and delays. User Needs Mapping: Aligning Teams Around What Matters offers a practical, visual way to reconnect organisations with the people they serve. Instead of guessing at structure or copying someone else’s model, this book shows you how to expose hidden dependencies, identify genuine user needs, and make better choices about team design and responsibilities. Through real-world case studies and step-by-step guidance, you’ll learn how to navigate tensions between wants, needs, and feasibility, create clarity of purpose, and build teams that deliver meaningful outcomes. Whether you’re a leader, product manager, architect, or change agent, this book equips you to turn complexity into clarity and enable teams to flow faster—aligned around what matters.

Now, six decades later, he is running AI agents through daily sprints at machine speed — and this book is the playbook for how to do it without getting shot down.
