Should we upgrade our platform? Should we put a twitter button on the login page? Do either of these address problems in our target market? Are they an important part of a theme we've developed based on market problems? If not, perhaps they can wait.
Subscribe to my weekly Nano-letter:
Engineering says "I can build that," and Marketing says "I can bring that to market," but your job is to define what "that" is based on market needs and then work with the other to groups to bring it all together in a roadmap that captures that market opportunity.
Be the one who brings the light of knowledge of market needs to the organization. As a product person, that's core to your value. Shed that light on inside-out thinking and it will illuminate your roadmap to success. How do you bring light? Discuss.
