Why Read Unlocking Opportunities Through Continuous Product Discovery?
Commonly, product discovery is thought of as the uncovering and articulation of new product ideas. However, we view it differently. To us, product discovery is an ongoing process. It doesn’t just define the moment of idea discovery; instead, it speaks to the continuous testing, validation, and exploration of both ideas and actual products.
Unlocking Opportunities Through Continuous Product Discovery gives you the foundational framework to implement our unified, end-to-end product development approach, Product Thinking, into your organization, project, and/or way of working. The approach brings together key disciplines, mental models, and methodologies to build better products that benefit users and the organization. Product Thinking places razor-sharp and continuous focus on product, measures progress through the lens of product delivery, and views products as constantly evolving systems.
