The weekend before this last one, I was able to spend time with our oldest daughter as she worked.
In addition to finishing high school (secondary school), competing in speech and debate, and working at a local restaurant, she is a professional photographer.
That evening took us to the Texas Women’s University campus for a graduation photo shoot. I’m thankful that we were able to make more memories together.
How might this apply to product development?
When we build products that are removed from client/customer feedback, we miss an opportunity to connect to their desires, needs, and wants.
In our daughter’s case, she works with her client while doing the photo shoot. She receives feedback from the client about what is working and what isn’t working.
Being able and willing to receive feedback is critical to building the right product and delivering a delightful experience.
My premise is that if it’s worth building, then it’s worth working alongside the people who use it.
What do you think?
Maybe you wonder where I draw inspiration for product development posts.
Here is one of the places.
I joined the “Software Development Lunch Bunch” yesterday for an AI presentation. But not about generative AI, this went further and deeper.
The next step in AI is Artificial General Intelligence or AGI. Dr. Gupta shared his insights on what we may need to take AI to the next level.
I want to thank Darvin Schmidt, MBA for inviting me to join the group and David Evans for hosting.
Product development is an evolving profession.
People’s change. Trends come and go. Value perceptions shift over time.
This is where tools come into the mix.
The Rezoomex team walked us through a demonstration of an AI-powered smart contract approach that may significantly enable product development teams to adapt to change.
Having options that reduce waste, shorten lead time, and assist teams to move from idea to working product is quite valuable.
Fit for purpose and fit for use tools that compress labor are accelerators for products professionals.
