On the product side, Des Traynor of Intercom provides hands-on advice where to allocate blood, sweat, and tears. And, by the way, you’re not the CEO of the product. Sorry. But probably you’re a Product Owner and not a product manager. Roman Pichler provides some insight on this discussion.

On the product side, we dive deep into handling the “we know what build syndrome,” and recall the learnings from the innovator’s dilemma and minimum viable product concepts. And we learn to stop fooling ourselves by acknowledging that we are caught in mental models.
