Product development is one big science experiment - but there’s one thing that can be guaranteed: the more people interacting with your product, the more feedback you’ll get, and the closer you’ll get to building something they actually want. Our goal in this book is to help you develop an idea into a business, starting with your fist 100 customers

Hi Ben! How did you compile this guide? What's your methodology behind it?

@nickabouzeid Nick, great question! We ran retrospectives on over a 100+ completed Roadmapping engagements in the past year understanding what went well. From there, I worked on laying out the findings with my editors to bring this to fruition. We had at least 5 iterations before this one we were distributing to our founders for feedback.

Congrats on the launch Ben! Have you considered doing something a bit like what @levelsio did for his book? I thought it was a pretty clever way to let the user have a good idea of what to expect.

Customers aren't going to fall head-over-heels over an inspiring mission statement or company goals. These are valuable, but not mission critical.

Pros:

There is some good information if you are looking for how to create a mission and purpose for your company

Cons:

There isn't any specific actionable advice to get your first 100 customers.
