#56 Accelerator's are open, What you learn from speaking to 100 users + more
This week I launched a new way for us to prioritise our roadmap đđž. Have a little peek of our new tool here. The backend is even more impressive, I get the data insights I need.
Letâs say youâre a mid-size company deciding what to build next. Just like everything, there will always be more ideas than you have time to build. Having a good tool helps you to cut through the noise and really start to understand what the market wants to so you donât waste your development money - itâs all about derisking product decisions.
Consider these 3 things, you want the features you roll out to be technically feasible, usable and valuable to the people you are building it for. Not only does each feature have to add value, but collectively they have to create a good experience.
