Inspired: How to Create Tech Products Customers Love
The definitive guide to modern product management practices
"The best teams are constantly generating ideas, testing them, and iterating."
— Marty Cagan
My Review
Cagan's product management framework emphasizes continuous discovery and adaptation - essentially an evolutionary approach to product development. The emphasis on cross-functional teams mirrors biological modularity.
Why It Matters
Product development as evolution - continuous variation, selection through customer feedback, and adaptation. Cagan's framework operationalizes biological thinking.
Key Ideas
- Product teams must continuously discover what customers need
- Cross-functional empowered teams outperform feature factories
- Rapid iteration beats big-bang releases
- Evidence trumps opinion
How It Connects to This Framework
Book 6's mutation and selection concepts applied to product development.
