I used to think that building the plane on your way down was a bad approach to products, but now I am starting to understand why people do this more.
You dont know what your unknowns are, or what you will end up doing until you start building.
For example, yesterday I went through my web app that I am working on and change all my initial data types from prospects to contacts. After running through a few workflows, I realized that change makes sense in the long run.
I want contacts to be able to turn into prospects. It was a good start but ended up not being a good fit.
I would have never know that had I not just started and did the work. Planning for this for days might have have uncovered this, but I think that's an exception.
Its not until we are in the trenches building and running through workflows like our customers would, that we really figure out whats important.
Good thought process indeed @dock90. There are way too many unknowns, so no amount of planning can actually turn out to be 100% perfect as it is.
Thank you Harsh!
My pleasure!
