A product program forteams facing
Do product decisions keep reopening after they were supposed to be settled?
Usually yes. The trade-off was made, the meeting ended, and three weeks later it is back on the table because someone was not there, or did not agree, or found a new reason. This program aligns what your product managers and engineers know, believe and do about the settled decisions on your product, in four one-hour team sessions.

What you'd typically hear if five of your product people answered alone.
SESSION 1 · FILL THE GAPSAnswered alone
Finish the sentence: when I think a settled product decision was wrong, I…MMira…bring new evidence to the next review and ask to reopen it there.
JJonas…raise it again in the next planning meeting.
AAylin…build it my way and explain later.
TTomas…mention it to whoever will listen.
RRosa…let it go. It won't change anyway.
What it costs you if nobody notices
Shared knowledgeClosed means nothingWhen nobody can list the settled decisions, every one of them is open to whoever brings it up next.
Shared convictionDisagreement means reopenedIf people believe not agreeing keeps a decision open, the loudest disagreement wins every time, weeks after the decision.
Shared practiceThe trade-off is paid twiceA decision reopened in a corridor costs the work already done on it and the work not done while it was debated again.
The program that closes the gap
Four one-hour sessions. Every one of your product managers and engineers, the same list of closed decisions, and one way to reopen them.

Alone first. Then the team agrees on one answer.
This is a taste, not the whole session. “Make the trade-off once” runs 4 exercises with your own team, on a call or in a room. Here is one of them, on the real screens, played with four AI teammates, so you can feel how a session works.
