Success is the result of every good work

Instead of forecasting outputs based on what stakeholders are asking, product teams need to start with what stakeholders hope to achieve and then back-cast from those outcomes to chart possible paths forward.

Then instead of prioritizing features, you can choose a single bet without compromising your flexibility: which next step will help us learn the most about what a viable path forward looks like?

As a result, the three “legs” of the product triad end up setting their own goals, and fighting over them. The prioritization process turns into haggling: we will solve this many product problems to this many design problems to this many developer problems.

While everyone is haggling for themselves, there is no time left to exercise all that empathy for the customer.

The result is an entire industry of products solving problems for its employees and the people who live like them.
