Lean Mean Product Machine – Dan Olsen on The Product Experience
The Product Experience - Un pódcast de Mind the Product - Miercoles
Categorías:
After leaving the Navy and working on nuclear submarines, Dan Olsen embarked on a career that has spanned enterprises and start-ups, consulting, speaking, writing, and running the Lean Product & Lean UX meetup. He joined us to talk about product/market fit: what it is, how to know when you have it, and how to achieve it.
Quote of the Episode
[The definition of product-market fit:] When customers agree that your product creates enough value for them relative to the other options that are available.
There’s definitely no guarantee that you’re going to achieve product/market fit… You’re trying to navigate to a destination that doesn’t exist yet – that’s the exciting part.
