The right starting steps

The goal is to reduce risk in the first release, not to build the whole idea at once.

  • Pick one problem and one user segment.
  • Define the value delivered in the first use session.
  • Choose a small but sellable MVP.
  • Add usage analytics from day one.

Most common mistake

The biggest mistake is building a huge product before confirming that someone will pay or keep using it.
