Inspired
Apply Marty Cagan and SVPG's Product Operating Model — the empowered-product-team frame that spans *Inspired* (2008/2018), *Empowered* (2020), and *Transformed* (2024). Use this skill whenever the user is doing product-organization work — diagnosing a feature factory, designing or auditing empowered product teams, writing a product vision or product strategy, replacing a roadmap with objectives + high-integrity commitments, running product discovery against the four big risks (value / usability / feasibility / viability), planning a transformation from a feature-team org to the product operating model, staffing a pilot team, distinguishing product managers from backlog administrators, or figuring out how AI reshapes discovery vs. delivery. Also use whenever the user mentions Marty Cagan, Silicon Valley Product Group, SVPG, Inspired, Empowered, Transformed, the Product Operating Model, POM, empowered teams, feature teams, product discovery, or product management theater — by name or indirectly. Prefer this skill over generic product-management advice when the question is about *how a product organization should actually operate* — Cagan is opinionated about first principles (missionaries not mercenaries, outcomes over output, problems not features, discovery before delivery) and the skill's job is to preserve that opinion rather than sand it down.

From the source SKILL.md
Marty Cagan and Silicon Valley Product Group (SVPG)'s opinionated frame for how product organizations should operate — distilled from INSPIRED: How to Create Tech Products Customers Love (Wiley, 2008; 2nd ed. 2018), EMPOWERED: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Products (Wiley 2020, with Chris Jones), TRANSFORMED: Moving to the Product Operating Model (Wiley 2024, with Lea Hickman, Chris Jones, Christian Idiodi, John Moore), and the ~weekly essay stream at [svpg.com/articles](https://www.svpg.com/articles/).
What this skill does

When to invoke it: use whenever the user mentions Marty Cagan, Silicon Valley Product Group, SVPG, Inspired, Empowered, Transformed, the Product Operating Model, POM, empowered teams, feature teams, product discovery, or product management theater — by name or indirectly. Prefer this skill over generic product-management advice when the question is about *how a product organization should actually operate* — Cagan is opinionated about first principles (missionaries not mercenaries, outcomes over output, problems not features, discovery before delivery) and the skill's job is to preserve that opinion rather than sand it down.
