Hi Wayne,

I think the title of the post says it all. It's kind of interesting because each of these things is dependent on the other. The smaller you start and maybe the simpler a product or service you start with, the better. Because this makes it easier to pay attention and make changes when you hear what customers are saying. Also, the fewer components you have start out with, the easier it becomes to add just what the customer wants and no more.

Hi Heather. Yup. The real challenge comes when you are serving customers with different personas because you will end up having different feature requests. Of course, businesses that are larger in terms of size or funding will also find it hard to stay focused on building or developing features that matter.
