Cost Plus Pricing = No Good. You must balance value versus (multiple) costs to determine price. (By Hans Splinter, Attribution-NoDerivs 2.0 Generic (CC BY-ND 2.0)). People sometimes ask me “how should I price my product?” so I Googled it. I found a LOT of blog posts about pricing. A surprising number recommend “cost plus” pricing. How much does it cost to make your product?
Mind the Product
APRIL 10, 2017
As technology professionals, we have been stuck at metaphorical basecamp for years. We’ve looked at the summit, attempted the various routes other teams have created, and worked hard on dialling in the basics of making sure we have food, water, and shelter. We have gone from wilderness survival to wilderness living. We learned the ways of the land. I would even say some have perfected this way of living.

When we looked back on the 2,000+ experiments that product teams have run on Alpha, we noted some of the challenges that they first had to overcome. Conceptually, most teams already buy into the value of experimentation and user insights, so that part was relatively easy. For corporate product teams in particular, the primary difficulty was in setting aside the time to make experimentation a continuous process.

Product management teams often ask themselves if third-party integration is right for their software product roadmap. The thinking is that you should integrate with products such as Salesforce and Slack, because you never would want to try to build those sorts of products by yourselves. Because of this, look through product management job descriptions and you’ll find many that mention third-party software integration, APIs, strategic partnerships, and so on.

Pragmatic Marketing

Getting a product to the market is hard. You might think that the hardest part is building the product itself, but I think the most challenging part is deciding what to build in the first place. Specifically, articulating what to build and why it’s important. For some product people, agile makes articulating requirements even harder. However, responding to change and breaking big things down into small things is exactly what we must do to deliver products the market will love as early as p

. I love asking people this question. It is quite a shocker that most people can’t really answer it. Everyone talks and writes about the importance of customer development, but companies still don’t spend enough time really talking to their customers.
