brainmates A1: Clients have combination of 1 big launch followed by smaller launches, big launches only as well as smal product launches -4:11 PM Jun 20th, 2011 nickcoster A1) Part of that answer depends on the product. For tangible physical products it is hard to iterate post release. -4:11 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick @zoernert Excellent. You must have to iterate rep mgmt significantly. -4:11 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick @zoernert Thoughts on Empire Avenue? -4:12 PM Jun 20th, 2011 zoernert A1: I personally prefer multiple iter. as this ensures best user experience. "do good and talk about it" (with your clients) -4:12 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick @StacyLeidwinger Weekly, monthly, how do you decide when to iterate? -4:12 PM Jun 20th, 2011 nickcoster A1) (cont) For software or service products iteration is easier. There is nothing to recall and change effect is immediate. -4:13 PM Jun 20th, 2011 zoernert @swanwick :) You so my stock price on #EVA :) - great tool! Similar Idea I had with hashstoxx.eu a while ago ... -4:13 PM Jun 20th, 2011 StacyLeidwinger Adhere closely to roadmap - # times vary depending on features & cust req. RT @swanwick: @StacyLeidwinger Weekly, monthly, -4:14 PM Jun 20th, 2011 lmckeogh A1: For HW can do a soft launch or beta to a limited group in order to gauge feedback and make last minute improvements -4:15 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick Q2: when looking at your feature backlog, how do you decide which iteration to put something in? -4:16 PM Jun 20th, 2011 lmckeogh A1: for software, it goes out. There may be a beta, but the product is what it is. Fixes are included in periodic updates -4:16 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick Q2: when looking at your feature backlog, how do you decide which iteration to put something in? -4:16 PM Jun 20th, 2011 lmckeogh A1: for software, it goes out. There may be a beta, but the product is what it is.

StacyLeidwinger A2: A lot of times customer/market demands drives what prod feature is added and when -4:18 PM Jun 20th, 2011 ProdMgmtTalk People - Twitter is apparently slow today, lots of noise on skype -4:19 PM Jun 20th, 2011 lmckeogh A2: use a combination of strategic & tactical planning. Start w/ strat items any time leftover work in tactical / short dev 1s -4:19 PM Jun 20th, 2011 zoernert A2: I am a fan of NPS and Kano Model http://bit.ly/lkExj4- both provide a decision criteria if you have a mass of fedback -4:20 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick @StacyLeidwinger how do you balance customer needs with product vision? -4:21 PM Jun 20th, 2011 zoernert A2: (cont) if not I prefer a relevancy analysis on the description of trial users (Do they see the "aspects" we designed ?) -4:22 PM Jun 20th, 2011 cindyfsolomon Now: Product Development-Iterating by Color http://t.co/WYiXrKB @swanwick is adding questions today! -4:22 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick @zoernert Nice.

Sometimes paper, sometimes prototype - as many senses as possible... -4:26 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick Let's get to the "meat" -> Q3: How do you decide TO WHAT EXTENT to accomplish a given feature? -4:26 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick Eg. Lots of different cars will get you from AtoB, but some will be faster and some will be more luxurious. -4:27 PM Jun 20th, 2011 rcauvin @swanwick Product vision selects a set of prospect problems under a central theme. -4:28 PM Jun 20th, 2011 zoernert @swanwick do you remember the "Palm" story of innovation - with the wooden block? -4:28 PM Jun 20th, 2011 rcauvin @swanwick Primary criterion for scoring a customer request should be the extent to which it reinforces the theme -4:29 PM Jun 20th, 2011

brainmates A3: It depends on your market & their needs. -4:31 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick RT @rcauvin: Product vision selects a set of prospect problems under a central theme. -4:31 PM Jun 20th, 2011 ProdMgmtTalk @rcauvin Welcome! yeah - very slow twitter today @swanwick is posting new questions here: http://on.fb.me/kLmfWI Q3 (meat...) -4:31 PM Jun 20th, 2011 zoernert A3: Extend what gets described if you let your customers talk about the product/offering. -4:31 PM Jun 20th, 2011 lmckeogh A3: Answering - What market are you serving, what are their problems & what are they willing to pay for/find useful. -4:32 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick @zoernert Please share for the group if you can squeeze it into a few tweets. :) -4:32 PM Jun 20th, 2011 StacyLeidwinger RT @brainmates: A3: It depends on your market & their needs. -4:32 PM Jun 20th, 2011 lmckeogh A3 (cont'd) Kano sorts this out nicely by placing features on 2d grid based on user feedback -4:32 PM Jun 20th, 2011 rcauvin A3: At first, implement the feature only to the extent it is necessary for minimum viable product (MVP). -4:33 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick @rcauvin I like that approach a lot. But, Q3: how do u decide to what EXTENT to meet a customer request? -4:33 PM Jun 20th, 2011 lmckeogh A3: cannot be all things to all customers -4:34 PM Jun 20th, 2011 ErikaLAndersen RT @swanwick: RT @rcauvin: Product vision selects a set of prospect problems under a central theme. -4:34 PM Jun 20th, 2011 rcauvin A3: Use the implementation of the feature & release of the MVP to learn more about the true needs of the market. -4:34 PM Jun 20th, 2011 zoernert @swanwick The legend says, that before "Palm" was invented the founder said "It needs to fit into my shirt" - so he crafted... -4:34 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick @brainmates humour me with a generalization since we don't have the luxury of full consultation via 140 chars. :) -4:34 PM Jun 20th, 2011 zoernert @swanwick ...carried it a few days around - used it whenever he would use a "Palm" . So he had the "User experience" first. -4:35 PM Jun 20th, 2011

ErikaLAndersen RT @rcauvin: A3: At first, implement the feature only to extent necessary for minimum viable product. -4:36 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick @rcauvin great point. What about extending beyond MVP? -4:36 PM Jun 20th, 2011 brainmates RT @rcauvin: Implement the feature only to the extent it is necessary for minimum viable product (MVP). -4:36 PM Jun 20th, 2011 ProdMgmtTalk Hacker News | The story of round rectangles http://bit.ly/lW6xmY re: Jeff Hawkins team leader, wanted Palm Pilot to be simple -4:37 PM Jun 20th, 2011 rcauvin @swanwick Implement customer request only to the extent it reinforces product theme & is needed for MVP. -4:37 PM Jun 20th, 2011 rcauvin @swanwick Once we release MVP, we "test" our requirements & feature assumptions and go further if validated. -4:38 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick So for extent. We use yellow=MVP, green=covers user need without too many mice running on the wheel. ..... -4:40 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick blue=long-term scaleable solution. -4:40 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick While 3 colors is somewhat simplistic, we find that it dramatically helps with iteration planning discussions. -4:41 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick and stops us from trying to go for a blue before we have iterated through yellow and green. -4:41 PM Jun 20th, 2011 rcauvin A3: Extent to which we implement cust request is determined by return on investment. -4:41 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick Q4: anyone use something similar to that color method for deciding what LEVEL to accomplish a given feature? -4:42 PM Jun 20th, 2011 ErikaLAndersen Test with customers? Against market? RT@rcauvin: @swanwick "test" our requirements/feature assumptions -4:42 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick @rcauvin yes, smart methodology to launch and then measure for possible extension. -4:43 PM Jun 20th, 2011 rcauvin A3: Guidelines for estimating ROI are consistency w/ product theme & level of implementation effort, primarily. -4:43 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick I blogged a bit about it: http://swanthinks.wordpress.com/2011/02/14/product-development-iterating-by-color/ -4:44 PM Jun 20th, 2011

The more the better as long as you are deriving useful info. -4:47 PM Jun 20th, 2011 rcauvin @ErikaLAndersen Also test assumptions by putting real product in front of real users & observing/getting feedback. -4:47 PM Jun 20th, 2011 mhowell @swanwick I have also considered the Kano Model in determining implementation for initial release -4:47 PM Jun 20th, 2011 cindyfsolomon @zoernert so many references to research! "freetext analysis"? -4:49 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick @zoernert "freetext analysis"? -4:49 PM Jun 20th, 2011 mhowell @rcauvin A3: Not all features can be measured by strictly ROI. Example: Brand Recognition -4:49 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick @zoernert How do you use colors? -4:49 PM Jun 20th, 2011 rcauvin @mhowell "return" != money -4:50 PM Jun 20th, 2011 rcauvin @mhowell Brand recognition is a form of return we get from our investment. -4:51 PM Jun 20th, 2011 ProdMgmtTalk @swanwick "splits into green & blue to say even after MVP, for another middle step for more robust/less backend work" -4:51 PM Jun 20th, 2011 swanwick Q5: anything you read in the blog post that you think is usable in your organization? -4:52 PM Jun 20th, 2011
