Build Stories
Products make more sense when you understand the problem.
Every product begins before the first line of code.
It begins with a frustration, an observation, a workflow that does not work well enough or a technology that creates a new possibility.
Build Stories explains the thinking behind the products we are creating.
Why we build.
This is not a collection of product announcements.
It is a look at the questions behind the products.
- Why does this problem matter?
- Who experiences it?
- Why does the existing solution feel incomplete?
- What changes when new technology becomes available?
- And what did we learn once we started building?
The process is part of the product.
Building software requires constant decisions.
- What belongs in version one?
- What should wait?
- What information does the user really need?
- Where should AI help?
- Where should it stay out of the way?
- What should be automated?
- What still needs human judgment?
Build Stories allows us to document some of those decisions while the products continue evolving.
