Who asked the Market? ,[object Object],[object Object],Engineering Centric “ Customer Centric” Brand Driven Cost Controlled VP Sales “We need to be Customer Centric” Instead of adding random features, the company begins building the exact things that individual customers ask for VP Finance “We are spending too much to get Customers” Costs Skyrocket with custom designs and 0 repeatability, plus promoting to a dozen markets. Costs get cut: Travel, Support, Award dinners and… Marketing VP Marketing “We need a Brand” Nothing is being sold in such a constrained environment, so the company attempts to establish a standard “Brand” based loosely on something they sold before. Mugs and T-shirts get distributed with the New Brand VP Engineering “We need more Features!” With all the focus on the new Brand, no work is being done on the product. Engineering begins adding Features, guessing what the customers might want
