About the Book
“Solving Product lays out the territory, helps you see where you are, and gets you back on track when you’re in the ditch.” – Amanda Robinson, Product Manager at Salesfloor
-
Solving Product isn’t your typical business book. It’s not a book that was written to be read front to back, then simply put away.
Solving Product was carefully designed to help product teams and entrepreneurs reveal the gaps in their business models, find new avenues for growth, and systematically overcome their next hurdles by leveraging the greatest resource at their disposal: customers.
No matter where you are in the product growth cycle—at the idea stage, at maturity, or somewhere in between—Solving Product will help you:
Solving Product offers a simple, unique, and wildly powerful business compass. It’s a book you’ll find yourself going back to, time and time again.
