An experience they can’t help but queue up for, tell others about and ultimately increase adoption of your product.
This is very different to how we created products ten o ..read more

This can be highly damaging to a business, wasting resources and turning away customers as your product becomes ever more bloated and devalued.
Luckily, it’s not impossible to recover from a slide into feature factory thinking. With the right approach to development, your business can instead pivot to focus on tangible business and customer impacts instead, laying the groundwork for a mor ..read more
