Product at a Distance book cover by Dave Scott

Now Available

Product at a Distance is for leaders who want to create truly innovative products but don't have the luxury of having everyone located in the same place, at the same time, all the time.

I introduce the "Product House" framework, a unified approach to product strategy and build techniques, paired with "Build Beyond Borders" adaptations for distributed environments. Through collaborative workshops and artifact-driven processes, it provides ten essential frameworks that empower remote teams to work seamlessly as if they were in the same building.

Product at a Distance accomplishes for product teams what the myriad publications on offshore development did for engineering teams two decades ago. Stay tuned for updates on the launch!

A sneak peek

The opening pages of Product at a Distance

Just beyond the knowable boundary lies unimaginable danger. Dragons ready to burn your expedition to the ground. Sea monsters that will swallow your ship whole. Grotesque human giants with a penchant for cannibalism. And these are just the terrors reported by those who have made it back alive.

I have always been fascinated by early maps. These charming relics included wildly inaccurate coastlines and boasted fanciful depictions: partly to grab attention, partly to fill in the blanks, and partly to warn of the unknowable dangers that come with uncharted territories. This was the cartographer's view, and it shaped humanity's view of the world.
