Product teams should be validating and experimenting at every stage of the product development lifecycle. It's about understanding your customer needs and building the right solutions to address their needs. When you’re building products, you should constantly be refining your understanding of three key questions: who is my customer? what is their problem? what is the best, lightest solution I can build for them? This drives rapid validation & iteration cycles as you build the products your customers will grow to love.
