Product managers often overlook the importance of understanding the 'Who' and 'Why' of their audience, leading to products that miss the mark.
Customer discovery is about understanding who your customers are and why they need a solution, while product discovery explores solutions to the problems identified during customer discovery.
To excel, product managers need to balance both customer discovery and product discovery.
Common pitfalls include rushing into product design without fully understanding the customer and not validating the 'What' and 'How' of the product.
