When growth comes through acquisitions, misalignment is inevitable. Different teams, different definitions, and no shared playbook. SBS, a financial services and SaaS leader, faced exactly that, and used the Pragmatic framework to turn complexity into clarity.
In this short video, Chief Product Officer Andrew Steadman talks with Pragmatic Institute’s Will Scott, sharing how his team created alignment, focused on value, and shifted from reactive to strategic.
With this video, you’ll walk away with:
- A practical framework for aligning teams post-acquisition using shared language and common tools
- A repeatable filter to avoid one-off feature requests and focus on scalable solutions
- A method for using data—not opinions—to guide product priorities and defend decisions
- Real-world checklists for harmonizing product and sales, and stress-testing AI investments in regulated industries
