Selecting, planning, and prototyping product features

When it comes to selecting product features, product managers often face challenges in determining which features will create the most value for customers. In hardware, feature selection is typically planned out well in advance due to longer development cycles. However, in software, the iterative and agile nature allows for learning as the product evolves. Starting small and validating features can be a helpful approach, even without building a complete application. Prototyping or scripting quick solutions can provide insights into whether a feature addresses the customer's problem effectively. It is important to prioritize flexibility and future scopes while considering the impact on the overall architecture and administration of the feature.
