Theses · Learn early instead of committing early

A project that is stopped after one week can be the most successful of the year.

An early stage of development sometimes shows that an idea does not hold up technically, or that the benefit does not justify the effort.

That is not failure. An early, well-founded decision against an idea is worth more than a late correction after large investments.

In detail

An early no is a result too

Not every product idea should be developed further.

An early state of development can show that an idea does not hold technically, that its complexity was underestimated, or that the expected benefit does not justify the effort.

It can equally become visible that the originally planned solution is needlessly complicated, that the technical route can be simplified, or that another part of the idea holds considerably more potential.

These outcomes are not a failure of development. They are part of its economic value.

An early, well-founded decision against an idea can be considerably more sensible than a late correction after extensive investment.

The value of early development therefore lies not only in creating new products, but also in the quality of the decisions about those products.
