Build to Learn, Not to Scale
Prioritizing a cohesive product experience reduces context switching for users, enhancing their ability to focus on critical tasks. A 'better together' approach allows for meaningful insights to flow between integrated tools, ultimately maximizing the value of users' time. Early product development should focus on understanding user pain points and minimizing distraction, rather than over-optimizing for scalability. Embracing the concept of 'build to learn' allows teams to leverage initial learning experiences over immediate scaling concerns, recognizing that large-scale issues are only a concern if the product has significant user adoption. The emphasis should be on easing cognitive load, whether technology-based or domain-specific, to facilitate genuine user engagement.
