Frameworks
Working backwards
One line description: A framework where you assume the product is already built (implementation details are secondary), and you analyze if it really works for the end user, and if it is better than the alternatives.
Used by: Amazon, Apple
Benefits:
Customer focused
Minimizes confusion
Goal-oriented
Steps:
Draft a mock-press release detailing the following:
The problem you are trying to solve
Target users
Product benefits to the end user
Call to action
Evaluate the opportunity
Find solutions (and approvals)
Build a roadmap
Create a backlog
Notes:
This approach can be a good way to come up with new product ideas that may be refined into a viable product after a single pass, however the engineering possibilities aren't taken into account initially, so this strategy is situational to the kind of organization you are in, the timeline and the resources available.
