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. To overcome this, he introduces the concept of continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), which allows for faster deployment and testing.
