When the cost of building is negligible, having the creativity to innovate becomes the strategic advantage. Here's how to increase creativity in yourself and in your teams.
I appreciate you talking about this. I've seen numerous PMs endlessly banging the "PRDs are dead, just build prototypes" drum. But the hard part of PRDs has always been the P part---why are we building this product, why now, and for whom?
You don't find PMF by random walks over the product space.
Design has been banging this drum and sharing these methods for over a decade. Design Thinking was a means to increase the creative output across disciplines by uncovering customer problems, generating opportunities and then saying, “yes, and…” over and over again. GenAI just speeds up the cycle.
