Addressing business challenges and goals starts with insightful ideas. But even when an organization has lots of ideas, these are sometimes based upon prior assumptions/conditions that may now be invalid. So, it’s valuable to have a process for generating/assessing ideas that meet the criteria of being: relevant, current, promising , and actionable , along with a way to cull the list and prioritize ideas for action.

Prior to this I’d had a year’s product experience at a customer-facing SaaS company and naively I believed I could copy-paste this experience. I was wrong.

Senior leaders often want to see months - or years - long product roadmaps. But these predictions often do not create products your customers will love.

Every time I find myself in a new role or with a new product, I always start with engaging the market. Working with customers and prospects will provide insights into what your users value and the problems that they want to solve. This will help you determine what content to focus on. You should also engage with your sales team to see who the typical buyers are and then perform win/loss calls.
