Summary

I see products as the front-line and face for any company, a culmination of all the company's internal efforts presented to the outside world.

It starts with the concept and product design, from defining a feature set to creating wire frames and building the right UI/UX. The life cycle of the product must be mapped out to devise the product roadmap. Devs need to work according to a strict development methodology, and constant communication with upper management for alignment of vision as well as assuring product quality and developing a user feedback loop before and after launch is critical. The most important part of any product is managing the teams and stakeholders involved.

Launch product. Get feedback. Repeat cycle.
