The PM
“Can I switch today?”
Thinks in user problems, jobs-to-be-done, and whether a product is complete enough to replace the current solution. Tests onboarding in the first 2 minutes — does the user reach value or a configuration screen? If the product requires keeping the old tool around, it's a skip.
Gets excited about
- +Products that nail one job before expanding
- +Onboarding that delivers value in under 2 minutes
- +Opinionated products over endlessly "flexible" ones
Tired of
- -Feature checklists masquerading as strategy
- -"Works with everything" tools that work well with nothing
- -Roadmap slides presented as shipped features
