Make Products better: Product iterations

"Iteration" is now a word we often hang on the tip of the tongue, in fact, the process of constantly optimizing products.

In Baidu Encyclopedia, the iteration is explained in this way, starting from the draft version of the project until the end of the final version, and in the midway along with the gradual improvement of each version will be called an iteration. Iterations are designed to make it easier for customers to have a number of final products at the same time in the project cycle.

At the meeting that day, I stumbled on the table to find the video TV remote control, so that "iterative" and have some ideas, I hope that through the following can let you feel.

How are you feeling?

I don't think I need to say, smart as you must know which is the 2.0 version, and which is the 1.0 version.

Remote control, industrial design capacity of a embodiment, since the Chowa began to repeat the "minimalist", the entire industry on the head and then embarked on the right path of no return. This is not, the remote is also able to a button is absolutely not two buttons, I just want to say: "This is really great!"

Recall that the old-fashioned remote control, the button really many, but we often use a few? Do you remember?

Back to the topic of our products, as "Product Manager" you, through this picture can not image of the understanding of the "product bloated", "functional accumulation", "do Subtraction", "optimization" The meaning of these words? We show the user the features that need to meet the needs of the 90 users, 2, the 8 principle in fact where all very applicable, that is, 20% of the function to meet the needs of 80% users.

Feel a picture again.

From the first generation of the iphone to the latest iphone, you can feel the product become more and more beautiful in the process of continuous iteration.

The topic goes back to the "iteration", and we look at a picture.

This is a picture I saw in my friend's share.

"Agile Development", "iterative", these are for the product to become more beautiful process to become easier.

But in the process of communication with friends, many entrepreneurial enterprises in the process of revision has been in the cycle, did not touch the user, has been hung up, overturned to do again, which for each role is very hurt, "product manager" is not spared.

So we have to do is from the skateboard → scooter → bike → motorcycle → car process, product needs have been "live", so that can be constantly polished, and constantly become more excellent.
