Join 📚 Felicity's Weekly Book Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Felicity's read, .
I emphasize to product people all the time that there is no single product discovery process just as there is no single product development/delivery process. There are many different discovery processes, all for different situations. For example, a [discovery sprint](https://svpg.com/discovery-sprints/) looks very different from customer discovery, but you should be skilled at both.
Moreover, it’s important to realize that it’s not about process. It’s much more about putting in place the necessary culture, and training your team on the critical techniques.
Process vs. Model
Marty Cagan
The purpose of customer interviewing is not to ask your customers what you should build. Instead, the purpose of an interview is to discover and explore opportunities. Remember, opportunities are customer needs, pain points, and desires. They are opportunities to intervene in your customers’ lives in a positive way.
Continuous Discovery Habits
Teresa Torres
Don't worry about outcomes over outputs when your outputs are saddled with dependencies, silos, lack of instrumentation, drag, committees, politics, etc. It is like worrying about having a great lunch when you are completely constipated. Great outcomes take output (in a culture where you follow up on your bets). John Cutler
