"Continuous Discovery Habits" is a transformative guide that provided our team with actionable insights for effective user discovery. The practical strategies and frameworks offered were instrumental in kickstarting our user-centric approach. This book fosters a culture of curiosity and empathy, making it a must-read for teams seeking to elevate their product development. Highly recommended for its tangible impact on refining user experiences.

For all product managers, and especially for the aspiring ones and those just getting started, this book is right up there at the top along with Marty Cagan's 'Inspired'. The book covers the entire process of product discovery and touches on all the important aspects in a succinct and ready-to-use manner. It discusses the 'what', the 'why', the 'how' AND the 'how not' in a manner that, once you have gone through it, just seems so simple and obvious. I suppose that is the hallmark of a well written book.As Teresa emphatically points out, this book is not supposed to be a 'perfect recipe' for product discovery, and yet, in my opinion, it does as great a job in that regard as any book possibly could. Couldn't be more happy with my purchase and if you have even the least bit of interest in product management, this book is a must-read!

[book:Continuous Discovery Habits: Discover Products that Create Customer Value and Business Value|58046715]One of the good reads to understand how to go about Product Discovery.This book is like a manual more on the how, rather than the why and what. The author throws light on to go about product discovery, concepts of problem space, solution space. Coins a new term called Opportunity space. Links this concept with a term named "Opportunity solution Tree", Prioritizing frameworks after listing or having your opportunity solution tree, balancing business and customer needs, articulating assumptions, testing your assumptions, measuring the impact, prioritizing assumptions, once all this is done, creating a shared understanding ecosystem with the business and customers by showing your work, slowing down when showing your work as people usually do not have "shared understanding". Developing patience for shared understanding, keep iterating this until you build credibility.As stated earlier this book offers the how, if you want to know the what and why books like Innovators Dilemma by Clayton, Crossing the Chasm by Moore are great reads.

This is one of those rare books where I brought both the Kindle version ( where I highlighted and streamed it to readwise app ) and Print version ( where i ferociously scribbled hand written notes relevant to my context overlaying a deep insight which was shared ). Why ? 3 reasons1. Its a product discovery playbook written by a Product Practitioner for Product Practitioners.2. Its rooted in Human centric principles ( Why we do what we do )3. Its ACTIONABLE !3 Product frameworks I found profoundly impactful and actionable to shape our product outcomes1. OST Framework ( Opportunity Solution Tree )2. Excavating user pain stories3. Prioritizing the Riskiest Assumptions to Test ( RATs )5 Mindsets1. Think "Outcomes, not Outputs"2. Think "Customer user Journeys" not Product features3. Think "Multi disciplinary seeing" not unidimensional approach4. Think "Visual Stories" not "Verbal Diarrhea "5. Think "Continuous Process" not "One Time Event"This is thousands of dollars of expensive product consulting synthesized into an affordable bookDont think. Just buy it :)

I usually find books on product strategy and frameworks too woolly to leave with clear, actionable next steps. Not this one!This book is clear, relevant, and packed with examples. It was wonderful to read - the friendly tone and conversational approach kept me hooked. Yes, hooked!It does a great job of taking all the ambiguous (but great) ideas of our product industry, reframing them so that their connections are are made obvious, and then tying them together in a neat, usable knot of next steps. Love it! 📚

This is a must read for modern product managers especially SaaS product managers.

I was on the fence when I picked this book. I've read a bunch of books on Agile, Lean, UX, Product and Execution. I wasn't sure there would be much in this book that would be new. Was I surprised!The book is not just a 50,000 words to say do continuous user research. It tells you the details on how to from planning to execution to incorporating it in the process. I highly recommend this book to founders, PMs, designers and researchers. A must read.

Now a days a lot of innovation is happening towards “how to build/deliver” products. But still huge grey area in “what to build” – here this book comes into picture.For discovery this book is a “key”. I recommend this book for all the professionals who wants to move into Product Owner (PO)and Product Manager (PM) role.This book emphasises discovery “should not be an event” rather “it should be a habit” to improve customer-centricity.
