About the Podcast
Accelerate Podcast is where our guests get real about the messy reality of leading products and portfolios across teams and organizations. We question why simple things become so complex, call out what isn’t working, and explore how different choices—or missing pieces—might change the outcome. Think less polished success stories and “best practices,” more productive venting that leads to better decisions.
Hosted by Becky Flint, CEO & Founder at Dragonboat, each episode digs into what it takes to manage complex portfolios at scale, including:
- prioritizing product investments with incomplete data
- aligning strategy with execution across distributed teams
- managing dependencies that span dozens of products
- optimizing scarce resources across competing priorities
- building operating models that actually work in practice
We dig into tooling gaps, alignment battles, data challenges, and the creative workarounds that keep portfolios moving forward. Hear from practitioners who understand the complexity because they’re living it.
