SHOW NOTES:

 

I GET HOW IT WORKS, BUT WHAT DOES IT ACTUALLY DO?

Many of us use Twitter on a daily basis, but if you had to explain it to someone, could you explain what it is and what value it provides? Many of us are tasked with a similar challenge in trying to explain our day-to-day work.  

EXPLAINING COMPLEX THINGS IS HARD. MAYBE THAT’S A SIGN THAT IT’S TOO TECHNICAL OR SHOULD BE BROKEN APART

  • What problem does something solve? 
  • Who has that problem? 
  • Does the problem need to be solved by a product or a platform?
  • Does the product align to one or many people’s jobs?
  • Does the platform align to one of many people’s jobs?
  • If it’s a platform, do the people with the problem want all of it?
  • Does the platform approach limit your ability to monetize it (e.g. too restrictive)?
  • Could you platform be valuable if it was broken up?
