The Principles of Product Development Flow
Why I recommend it
This is one of the denser books on my product reading list. It explains why work waits, why batch size matters, and what delays cost.
What it changed in my thinking
Waiting has a cost. Smaller batches and faster feedback can help us learn while there’s still time to change course.
Who it’s useful for
Experienced product, engineering, and operations leaders.
A tension or limitation
Read slowly and try a few ideas that fit your work. You don’t need to adopt every principle at once.
