Continuous Learning Cycle as Key to Product Lifecycle

In this podcast episode, Sergey Berzuk, co-founder of PandaDoc, discusses the importance of a continuous learning cycle in product development. He explains that product updates and iterations are crucial during the introduction and growth stages to achieve product-market fit and establish a leading position in the market. Berzuk emphasizes that the speed of the learning cycle depends on the slowest link, often between implementation and review stages.
