Escaping the Build Trap

How Effective Product Management Creates Real Value
Book • 2018
In 'Escaping the Build Trap', Melissa Perri addresses the common issue where organizations become trapped in a cycle of constantly building features without focusing on the value these features bring to customers.

She argues that success should be measured by outcomes rather than outputs.

The book provides practical frameworks, real-world examples, and strategies for transitioning from a 'feature factory' mindset to one that emphasizes continuous discovery, customer needs, and strategic product management.

Perri emphasizes the importance of defining a clear product vision, empowering product teams with autonomy, and aligning organizational dynamics to deliver real value.

The book is essential for product managers, leaders, and anyone involved in product development who want to create meaningful products and drive business impact.
