When planning to develop features for a product, there are several important considerations that need to be considered. These considerations include: 1. Market Analysis: Analyzing the market landscape helps identify gaps and opportunities. Understanding competitor offerings and industry trends can inform the selection and prioritization of features. 2. Technical Feasibility: Assessing the technical feasibility of implementing the proposed features is necessary. Considering factors like existing infrastructure, resources, and capabilities helps determine the viability and potential challenges in implementing the features. 3. User Experience: Ensuring a good user experience is crucial for the success of any mobile app or product. Considering factors like usability, intuitiveness, and accessibility during feature planning helps deliver a product that users will enjoy using. 4. Scalability and Future Growth: It is important to think about the long-term scalability and future growth of the product. Building a flexible and extensible architecture can accommodate future feature enhancements and minimize technical debt. 5. Resources and Constraints: Considering the available resources, budget, and time constraints helps in realistic feature planning. Prioritizing features that can be developed within the allocated resources ensures efficient development and timely delivery.

Working on Burnout Bot (launched today!! 90 mins left!) and we really focus on customer interviews and sales calls. The problem of burnout has shifted so much based on Covid, remote work, RTO, etc and we need to stay very close to customers if we’re going to solve it.

How important is it? The budget? The timeline? The pain point this particular feature solves?

Pieces for Developers
Working on https://pieces.app in the developer tools space and we have to really be super particular in how we build since our customers are developers themselves. They are the best users to have because they will let you know if things are not good enough and really lets us iterate our products very quickly. We are also launching on Product Hunt tomorrow! We'd appreciate any support and feedback we can get! I can't send our PH launch link for some reason but we are Pieces for Developers! We have links to our PH page on all our socials @getpieces

The specific methodology (e.g., Agile, Waterfall) and the level of detail in each phase can vary based on the project and team preferences. Flexibility and adaptability are key in modern software development to address evolving requirements and user needs.
