\# 14 - Sep.2023

Happy Friday!

Here is a quick idea before you head off for the weekend:

Great products have a strong product development strategy behind them. Here are important questions to check your strategy:

- Is your discovery process consistent with understanding customers' needs?
- Do you have a track of emerging technologies that could increase value for customers? What is the best way for [combining them](https://www.cesarrg.com/converge-and-social/)?
- Are there emerging markets that you should be aware of?
- Are you leveraging the rights testing approach to [validate your ideas](https://www.cesarrg.com/test-it/)?
- How will the strategy maximize the product outcomes that you want to achieve?
- Are there new behaviors and other customer factors that you should consider?
