It was noticed that successful product teams have common features.

They all:

  • Experiment. They do not wait for every detail to come, brainstorms & countless meetings. They take actions.
  • Move step by step. They evaluate results weekly & plan the next sprint
  • Possess different competencies. They are knowledgeable about analytics & user experience; can develop a landing page & a script. Cross-functionality it is. 🙂
  • Know their North Star Metric. So, they move at high speed.
  • Get direction from user data. Both quantitative (e.g., NPS) & qualitative (e.g., interviews).
  • Accelerate & brake quickly. Assemble the experiment design in a day; sum up – in an hour.
  • Understand when the customer first time gets the product value (Aha!-moment) & their journey.
