Driving towards the wrong goals can result in team misalignment, at best, and a failed product strategy, at worst. - Distinguish the highest impact ideas from the good ideas - Most companies have lots of good ideas. PMs must separate the great from the good, and craft product strategies that yield the highest impact outcomes for their customers and business. Iterate, based on customer feedback & data – Great product strategies should evolve over time, with the ongoing incorporation of customer feedback, data, and stakeholder input. Strategies developed in a vacuum are unlikely to succeed, as are strategies that fail to evolve with the changing needs of customers.

By delivering consistent results and keeping stakeholders apprised through the appropriate channels, product managers can build the baseline trust required for influence.

This document discusses how to effectively use minimum viable products (MVPs) for product discovery and testing assumptions. It begins by explaining that MVPs have become misunderstood as unfinished products rather than tools for learning. The key principles outlined are that MVPs should be the smallest tests to try hypotheses through rapid iteration, not scalable code or actual products. Examples are provided of companies that created successful MVPs through no-code tools like Google Sheets or by manually simulating experiences. The document concludes by emphasizing the importance of MVP-driven discovery in building strong product companies.
