Every product goes through stages. Like in the Odyssey, there’s a beginning, a middle, and in most cases, an end. However, for products, these stages are related to understanding the problem that you want to solve, how you can approach it, what can be improved and how to stay relevant. We call it the product development life cycle. Knowing where you are, and where you’re going is crucial to setting and achieving goals.

How will we look back on 2021 and 2022 years from now? I’m sure partly, we will reflect with shock. How did we ever think GameStop was worth tens of billions of dollars? Why did we believe in crypto scams like FTX? And whoever thought an NFT of a “Bored Ape” would be valued at millions? What were we thinking?

Your product should be able to make customers measurably better at specific job tasks that are critical to their success, for sure, but does it do so easily and efficiently, and even more importantly, do those customers actually enjoy using it? Product experience takes into account how your product delivers ideal customer outcomes and the manner in which it eliminates obstacles.

Senior leaders often want to see months - or years - long product roadmaps. But these predictions often do not create products your customers will love. While customers aren’t fickle, they often do not know what they want until you give them something to try. That means product leaders need to integrate experiments and options into their roadmaps. In this presentation, Johanna Rothman will explain: How to limit the duration of a roadmap and show possible options.

Ask them what they do, when they do what they do, what challenges are they running to, and how are they solving those challenges today. One of the biggest challenges that business owners or product managers (PM) face is figuring out what their customers want. Too often, we ask customers what they want, instead of asking what they do.
