How do you know if you have validated the problem space enough to start dedicating engineering resources to building out the product?

Before investing in engineering resources you want to build conviction around the following: 1. Is there a market need? Are you fulfilling a true gap in the market? 2. D...

This is hard! For me, it's a mix of having a good understanding and confidence that you have (1) a clear hypothesis that you can test with a minimally viable product tha...

In my experience, you’re ready to invest in building once you have a strong conviction that a real, significant problem exists AND that your proposed solution concept res...

There are multiple things you need to get right before you start building a product, because the most likely outcome of creating one is that it will fail. To see an examp...

For a new product in a new market, I don’t think you can ever validate the problem space enough. Once you have reasonable confidence that the users (and buyers) exist for...

There are many potential signals – just one of these is enough!You're starting to hear the same problems repeated in a lot of your researchYou don't have a clear view of ...

You can't know if you've validated the problem space enough because it's not a binary evaluation- it's a judgement and investment call based on data, gut feel, and stakeh...

Validating the problem is of course a critical step in building a great product. A couple of signals to look for Do you have a clearly articulated problem statement you ...

I would start with problem, root cause, solution (aka RCA) and really understand the problem you are trying to solve with your product. Once you understand the problem an...

To ensure that you are investing your resources wisely, it is critical to have a high degree of confidence in the problem you are going after. You do not want to spend en...

This is heavily dependent on the type of product you are building, but you can get very far with high fidelity designs and manually "hacking" things together. I worked at...

Validating the problem space sufficiently before dedicating engineering resources is crucial. Indicators that suggest you are ready to proceed include: a clear understand...
