Introduction to Product Discovery (incl. a simple process to get started)

[@aaronthomson3978]

Hi Ant, wanted to drop some feedback - because your effort and attention to detail deserves it. 1. Excellent production quality for your video - perfect use of swapping in visuals that were big enough to see - great sound and over all look and feel. 2. Phenomenal content. Usually this costs about 3 days and $1000 to get to this level of insight - clearly you have been doing the hard yards in the real world before deciding to help others. That shows to those of us who have also put in the real work of failing over and over before beginning to realize the only winners are the brave who let the light of reality in early not late in the process. Lastly - bravo on your integration of product thinking through out. You made it simple. Well done. God bless your work. Aaron

Wow! Thanks so much Aaron! I really appreciate the thoughtful comment - it means a lot to me 🙌 I couldn’t ask for a better feedback than the value of these videos being equivalent to a 3 day $1,000 course! 🙏 That’s my goal so it’s awesome to hear I’ve managed to achieve it. Thanks again, I’ll keep churning content like this out so long as people like yourself get value from it!

Really insightful and engaging video. As someone stepping into my first PM role, I can't tell you how useful it is to have these frameworks and concepts so well explained. Thank you!

Thanks Matt! Glad it was helpful to you. This is why I create this content and I do try hard to make it all as simple and practical as possible :)

I was searching for this topic product discovery. Gone through thousands of video , but this was the best video that i came across. And can you give example of assumption so that it becomes more clear.

[@productpathways]

The best kind of comment! Thanks so much 🙏 I’m just glad that it was valuable. Yes of course. Let’s imagine you’re the lucky person to come up with the idea for Uber. An assumption would have been that “people will be willing to get into strangers cars”. This would be considered a high risk assumption because if that didn’t turn out to be true the whole concept of Uber wouldn’t work. Does that help?

@@productpathways Hi . I understood about the assumptions. Actually i was having doubt like suppose i have many product ideas . And every product ideas is different from eachother. I don't know which ideas to pursue. So can i use this framewok to understand that which one product ideas i can pursue by observing the interviews, surveys etc. Next thing is i really want to connect with you because i understood the content. I really wan't to connect with you. And one more thing i am product management intern i am still learning about product management. From my understanding i divided the product into different phases Phase 1 is Discovery(which mainly focus on what to build? ) Phase 2 is Execution(This phase mainly fouses on the product like agile, scrum, sprint,vision,strategy) . So like we got that what we have to build and we have also executed that. Now the next Phase 3 is GTM( That is how we will inroduce our product to market users) Phase 4 is Analyse(Where we analyse the product through dashboard. metrics stuff). After observing Phase 4 we move again to phase 1. Now the thing is your channel has lot of videos on product discovery. Can you make playlist that is related to product discovery it should include and each and every video that isrelated to product discovery like any video that comes under the product discovery specturum it will be very helpful for me. And i really want to connect with you.

Yeah , I actually understood about assumption . Suppose i have different product ideas and each product idea not related to eachother . Can i use this framework to pick up the idea that i can pursue. Through surveys, user interview and testing. Actually i was not able to understand about time box can you please suggest some reference or video so that i can understand more about it. I really want to connect with you so that i can learn more. Actually i am a product management intern at a startup. Currently learning more about product management. I actually divided the product in phases Phase 1 Discovery(that actually tells what to build.) Phase 2 Execution(that mainly focuses on the development of the product it includes agile, scrum, sprint and also product strategy and vision and all this things are done in execution phase) Phase 3 GTM(this mainly focuses on how the product will go on to the market after its development) Phase 4 Analyse(It focuses on the analysis, metrics stuff etc) . After phase 4 again we move to phase 4. I just divided it into 4 phases on my basic understandings. Currently i am learning more about phase 1 . And your channel best for the discovery stuff and one more thing that please make one playlist named discovery and include all the videos of your channel that comes under product discovery spectrum. It will be very helpful for me. I know this comment is long. Please make video on topics like detailed market research , competitor analysis and user testing. And at last i really want to connect with you. Thanks for the above comment reply.
