Short excerpt from a YouTube interview with Jason M. Lemkin discussing product development speed and team performance. Lemkin contrasts great teams (high velocity, frequent impressive shipping) with mediocre teams (product stagnant), notes B2B can be easier for shipping certain features, and affirms that speed remains crucial when approaching product-market fit.
But then think about the amazing things you, you pushed out, right? The Shopify integration and the mobile features and all of this. And they're, they're struggling to keep up with bugs and feature gaps. And the pretty good teams get it done. But they complain all the time about how hard it is, how hard it is to launch the integration, how hard it. But they still do it. The great teams just your jaw drops. What, what they ship each month. In B2B, it's easier. In B2C and B2B, your jaw drops. And then the mediocre teams like nothing happens and the product is frozen in time. And team, can I ask, pre product.
Market fit, is speed still everything? Because there's the idea of crafting, testing, making sure you hone that customer message. And then when you get product market.
Go, it is.
Would you actually say it is.
