Innovation with external teams.
It took a year and a half to get to market.
User feedback came too late and we had no time or budget left to iterate.
Less than two years after launch, we shut down.
Fast forward to 2011.
New plan:
Build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) Get it into user’s hands within 90 days
Let user feedback to dictate our roadmap Quickly iterate and get new versions to our users

What worked:
Build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) Get it into user’s hands within 90 days
Let user feedback to dictate our roadmap Quickly iterate and get new versions to our users
Our corporate clients needed to do this too!
Innovation is 99% iteration.
