Every seasoned product professional knows that success only comes after a series of failures. To innovate, we have to try new things, not knowing 100% if they will work or not. We should embrace failure, and that starts with learning from error. When Products Fail Every PMs worst nightmare!

You must be wondering what this topic is all about. I mean, don't ask users what they want? But how will the product team know what users want and what to build for them?

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.

It can be a natural inclination to assume you’ll revisit design after you get something out the door. But this can be a dangerous road.
