The foundation of continuous discovery is weekly touchpoints with customers. These touchpoints will allow you to collect stories that help you identify opportunities and build out your opportunity solution tree. It sounds simple, but what happens if your product is so new that you don’t have any customers yet? Or what if you’re just getting started with an idea and your product doesn’t even exist yet?

Expanding on a recent post ( Revenue Goals are Not Company Strategies ), I’ve been seeing lots of maker teams (product, engineering, design) struggling to form product strategies without a company strategy to hang them on. This is a recipe for failure: there are no generic product strategies or corporate strategies , and IMHO therefore no context-free prioritization models, metrics, or product goals.

The Problem Churn is the silent killer. It measures the rate at which customers are passing through that metaphorical turnstile, leaving your services either voluntarily or involuntarily (such as for payment issues.)
