Product Management

So, business strategy vs product strategy? They are the same thing. It makes no sense to think of them as different. Product is one tool in the box. It is one of the “how”s.

In our design sprints, we found that if we ended each workday before people were exhausted, the week’s productivity increased dramatically. Even shortening the day by thirty minutes made a big difference.

Right-first-time and Just-in-time over Working software over comprehensive documentation
