Startup insights: Place a product on the market (DevX)

A product is obviously better than do not have a product at all, but not by much.  Bringing a product to market is only the first step for a voyage long and painful to make the desired product, respected, actually used by people on a basis consistent and finally adopted massively. In this article we are going to 10 typical to bring a product to market considerations.

Now, it has been well documented that "If you build it, they come."  The level of the indifference of web consumers is depressing.  There are already too many products out there and not many people want to learn how to use the new.  Existing sites are likely to do much of what you do, and they are probably much better since you are new. Your differentiation factor is not necessarily irresistible or obvious and you averaged approximately 15 seconds to win on each person who visits your website or your product - no chance.  Difficult that bring people to your site, most of them come look for eye and leave without leaving a trace.  It is a reality of the web.  Indifference is deafening.

It is not too much of a problem which only concern your product at the beginning.  You can watch just to it as a challenge.  The best way to overcome indifference is to speak to many people who come in contact with your product that you are able to get a hold of and their application where the product came short for them and their current solutions stack.  This will give you an idea of what needs to be improved and after that improve you parts of the site or product, you can join some of those people again. Probably you will face yet indifference hard just iterate unique product does not go to work wonders for you, but over time these efforts will be keeping a steady buzz about your product, help you develop strong relationships and you will earn the respect of your customers adhering to their needs.  More importantly, your product has gradually matured and improved, the level of indifference will naturally be ebb and excitation level increase slowly because there is something to get excited about once your product is at a level of quality.

Your customers and non-customers who are potential clients know the gaps in your product better than anyone else.  They can tell you what is their bored on the product and what keeps them from turning their existing solutions.  Attention to what is bothering your customers and clients closely.  If this is something that they need is simple to implement and in line with your product vision a greater, to implement the improvements that they need. It will improve your relationship with them and your product at the same time.

If the requirement is something that is very difficult or intensive resources to work, but logic for your vision of the final product, inform customers that you are going to be put on your list of tasks in the near future.  For customers from the point of view, you can even use the next short to your advantage and just ask to know if you can count on their business if you want impleent they need.

Customers are always right, correct?  Bad!  Sometimes client applications do not match your larger vision for the company and the product. Sometimes a client comes up with a list of changes that may be good suggestions, but 4 and 5 on a scale of priority 1-5 laundry.

If you try to please the customers, you may lose your vision and waste resources focus (employee time and money) features of the building and are not the most important for your business. If requests are reasonable but low priority, be open with your customers on their addition to the queue for the improvement of the product.  In this way, the client feels that their demands are met and that you give yourself the flexibility required to achieve these features when more fire features are already created.

If the requests and suggestions are unreasonable, you shouldn't affect your product to customers, please.  You are probably better to something that can appeal to the client as explaining them why this particular suggestion was not taken and ensuring they believe that their option is respected.  Another approach is to say that the suggestion has been added to the list of tasks to and is delayed by a backlog of functionality.

As you struggle against the indifference of the consumer, an iteration on your product, and your best to make your customers happy, your product will pass by a flurry of changes, improvements, bug fixes and usability fixes.  This will be the initial architecture of product with a great test.
Design of the product at the same time its brand and its architecture technology base, keep things General, imprecise and flexible as possible.  Nobody knows what the future will bring and during the phase of innovation and iteration of the product, flexibility is one of the greatest assets.
