Book Description

Product managers need a clear process to identify business value, especially when there are few or no users, unclear market conditions, and fuzzy business goals. This book promises a systematic approach to solving this problem.

When starting on a new product, it can be quite hard to determine which product idea to pursue. For a product that has an existing customer base, this is easier since there is data to measure. But, how do we do this for a new product? Should we pursue when there is no objective metric to compare an idea's worth? How do we ensure that product development isn't an isolated function? How can we factor engagement from all aspects of the business? The book introduces the concept of a business value matrix. This can help product managers get all ideas on-board irrespective of merit. It can then filter valuable ideas by defining success metrics. It can help elicit the stakeholder's investment in the execution of an idea. The business value matrix can then help us determine the most valuable product to build.

Many product teams may be familiar with the concept of an MVP. An MVP validates the technical and business feasibility of a product. But, how do we measure value even before we build a product? This book puts forward a framework to define the value of product features and to identify the most valuable product to build. This book can help product managers and entrepreneurs to think through new product ideas. It is a handy guide for product managers, and anyone who is embarking on a new product development to align their product strategy by: identifying the most valuable product idea to pursue, minimizing their effort by building the most valuable product, iterating through product features by defining time bound success metrics, and eliminating wasteful software processes and measure progress using business value delivered.
