Dan Olsen "How to Create Your Product Strategy" at the 2018 NYC Product Leader Summit
π‘ Unless you make room for the big rocks, the sand will overwhelm everything, especially in agile environments. π― "Innovation is saying no to a thousand things." - Steve Jobs π The key framework for achieving product market fit is the product market fit pyramid, which starts with identifying the target customer and their underserved needs. π‘ "People don't want a quarter-inch drill. They want a quarter-inch hole." - Dan Olsen emphasizes the importance of staying in the problem space and thinking about customer needs. π‘ Problem space definition should be written from the user's perspective, using action verbs to create value for the user. π More miles per gallon is basically a performance benefit, and it's a must-have based on customer input, not just because the CEO said so. π Identifying unique differentiators is crucial for success in product strategy. π Uber's evolution from "uber cab" to a next-generation car service shows the importance of adapting and rebranding in the ever-changing market.
