Lessons from product failures: Why commercial feasibility matters

Product failures are usually associated with commercial feasibility and the inability to generate enough revenue.
Commercial feasibility risk is divided into technical and commercial dimensions according to the Four Risks framework.
Poor value discovery, diversifying too much, and overly assuming past gains can lead to product failures.
HIPPO (High Paid Person’s Opinion) pressure can result in poor commercial feasibility assessment.
Lean on technical risk assessment, document everything, build incrementally, and focus on outcomes over outputs can be helpful to avoid or deal with poor commercial feasibility.
Creating safety nets can help objectively decide if to continue with questionable projects.
Newton and Fire Phone are reminders that even tech giants can stumble when they prioritize features over value, gut feelings over discovery, or hierarchy over data.
Democratize discovery across teams to balance the weight of individual opinions regardless of their position in the hierarchy.
Document decisions for accountability and establish safety nets beforehand to manage questionable initiatives.
Shift the focus from outputs to outcomes to solve actual user problems instead of prioritizing features.
