Best overview of lean product management by Dan Olsen

[@KimStansfield777]

Great description of the Modern QFD process. In first 5 minutes Dan describes the left hand side of the Customer Voice Table. Recently released ISO 16355 gives an overview of the end to end flow of Modern forms of QFD.

this is a great talk. at the end an important point is made: when it comes to delighters, it's binary, and you want to be differentiated. i see a lot of social media companies doing the same thing, but when there is no differentiation, there is no "must have" feeling. instagram or snapchat stories are pretty similar. the algo feed and content creators does vary. maybe there are fewer "must haves" in the modern era, because FB showed that copying works well.

Great description of customer value frameworks

Just as a side note, as mentioned in 2:56 - 4:06 in product-market fit one shouldn't forget about the market viability. It goes without saying, but there's no point as PM to develop something for no benefit.

I don't see anything 'lean' about this. This is how I would describe a very heavy product development process, specifically the focus on deliverables (PRDs, wireframes, Photoshop...). Where's the lean part, or rather, what non-lean processes is this replacing?

[@delatroy]

+Alan Klement fully agree..

[@sesseshadri9430]

Dan -> Would you still go ahead with PRD and MRD diciplines in Lean Product Development Context? How relevant is Business Model Canvas here?

[@shogunfogun]

These concepts are ooooold. So what is lean about this product management...nothing I say!

I love the apocryphal urban legend "space pen" story. Which is false. I believe both US and Russia both started with pencils and then both moved to pens later on. But don't let the truth stand in the way of a good story!
