We've been told that high product and experiment failure rates are normal, good product development, and something to celebrate. They're not. Neither is Failure Squared(TM) failing to learn from failure. We waste time and money solving problems we don't understand for target markets we don't understand. We break promises, and we deliver less ROI than our customers require.
Whether your product management or strategy work is done by humans, AI, or a combination, you still need to find product-market fit (PMF) with your target audiences of humans. We need to invest in fitting the product to our market.
Atomic Product-Market Fit(TM) introduces a practical and actionable three-level model of PMF (macro, meso, and micro), and a four-phase process and framework aimed at success. Learn how to identify what's blocking your PMF: from bad research questions to false validations to vibe producting(TM).
Reconnect with your Experience Ecosystem to understand the Dimensions that drive PMF, conversion, retention, and growth. Put the strategy back in product strategy, and evaluate solutions before your customers become frustrated beta testers. Consider where AI and LLMs help this process and where they'll hurt it.
In decades of consulting, strategy, and change-agent work, leaders and executives have never asked author Debbie Levitt to help them fail more or fail faster. They usually want her to find and solve problems, identify and mitigate risk, make teams more efficient, and make products and services more successful.
No matter the size or stage of your business, this book is your permission and your plan to try a fresh approach. If your company likes failure, they're really going to love success.
