After 20 years of working in startups, I decided to take a step back and look at the product development model I had been following and see why it usually failed to provide useful guidance in activities outside the building – sales, marketing and business development. So what’s wrong the product development model?

Marketing demand creation programs (Search Engine Marketing, Public Relations, Advertising, Lead Generation, Trade Shows, etc.) are all expensive and potentially fatal distractions if done before you have found product/market fit and a repeatable sales model.

One of the sayings I hear from talented managers in product development is, “good enough never is.&# And, most importantly, it helps team members develop the courage to stand up for these values in stressful situations.

what are the most crucial steps to be taken by a new tech startup when outsourcing major part of the tech to IT firms or outsourcing “product development” eg new social media website project? Near shoring development with your team (ex: your team is based in Canada / India) is cool, but not outsourcing.

The knowledge that you need 10,000 hours to master a subject, that certain trends become viral after the 412th person adopts it, or that you should make your product remarkable, is not going to help you launch. Nor will it save you a single minute during product development, or sell one more copy of your application.

But a more important question to which I don’t have a good answer is whether the Free/Premium strategy leads to better or worse product development. If you offer a product for free you get more users and more feedback on your product. at 1:59 pm i do believe it depends on your business model. Otherwise, no.

Steve Smith • Nov 8, 2010 I've always thought that a funny thing to do would be to post an ad on Craigslist saying "I'm a rockstar developer who is looking for the next great idea. you can steal an idea just from hearing it, it is not really a good defensible business idea.
