The objective of this article is to emphasize the importance of Product-Market-Fit (PMF) exploration, which is the most significant “commandment” in creating a successful product and business. It should be noted that this process is not limited to technical products and can be adapted to any type of product or service with appropriate modifications.
PMF is the process of establishing an unbreakable connection between a customer need, a solution that fulfills that need, and a willingness to pay for that solution. It is critical to identify a PMF as early as possible in the product journey to save time, money, and, in most cases, determine the difference between success and failure. Achieving a PMF entails a rigorous process of research, customer interviews, collection of hard evidence, testing of assumptions, and, if necessary, pivoting.
PMF exploration is a continuous process that should be repeated throughout the product’s life cycle.
