Post do Joca Torres sobre (falta de) Visão de Produto.
 
Exemplos que ele cita de consequência da falta de visão de produto:
Decisions and Priorities
  • The infamous “feature factory.”
  • Confusing roadmaps with prioritization decisions based on opinion or hierarchy, rather than clear criteria.
  • Short-term planning with no strategic direction.
  • Difficulty saying “no” to ideas that don’t contribute to a common goal.
 
Teams and Structure
  • Teams are organized by technology (“frontend,” “backend”) rather than problem or product domain.
  • Low engagement from people who don’t understand the impact they’re generating.
  • High turnover among those seeking purpose, or at least clarity about where they’re headed.
 
Communication and Culture
  • Each department tells a different story about the product.
  • Confusing onboarding: no one can clearly explain where the product is going.
  • Marketing, sales, and product teams are moving in different, and sometimes opposite, directions.
 
Results and Market
  • A value proposition that’s confusing or generic.
  • Difficulty positioning the product in the market.
  • Loss of identity and differentiation over time.
