Talking AI

If you’re ready to enter the next stage of product development – modernizing an existing solution – you might be tempted to try the MVP route again. It worked well once before, surely it can again…  

The truth is that updating an existing solution is a completely different process. You’re not starting from scratch this time. You already have a product and users on board, and so you need a new approach.  

To talk more about modernizing a solution and the best approaches to take, we welcomed Joseph Misemer, Director of Solutions Consulting at HatchWorks, to the podcast. Joseph explains why the MVP approach doesn’t work when it comes to modernizing a solution and breaks down the different elements of a successful modernization project.  

Key Moments: 

• Why the MVP approach doesn’t always work 
• The main differences between MVP and MVR 
• The six principles of MVR 
• Three approaches to modernizing an MVR project

At what point in the product development journey do you go public? 

For many, the answer is simple – when it’s finished. But not everyone likes to take that approach. Joining this episode of the Built Right podcast is Rui Nunes, Founder of Social Digest, and he doesn’t like to do things the traditional way. 

Instead, he decided to take a different approach to building a product – doing it in public for all to see.

Key moments: 

• Why humility is necessary when building in public 
• What building in public really means 
• Balancing risk with progress 
• Why smaller companies find it easier to build in public 
• How building in public helps you “build right”

The secret to good UX design goes beyond slick applications and impressive functionality. While those things are definitely important, HatchWorks’ Director of Product Design, Andy Silvestri, likes to think of UX design as user enablement.  

In other words, UX design should enable users to be successful using your product so they get the maximum value out of it.  

Andy joins episode two of the Built Right podcast to share his perspective on UX design and how to get it right. He explores how to tap into the UX mindset, understand your customer and their needs, conduct user research, and much more.  

Key Moments: 

• The true goal of UX design 
• Why you need to balance the needs of stakeholders and users 
• How to tap into the UX mindset 
• Why you need to understand your customer well 
• Why personas can be useful for targeting  
• How user research can help you get product validation  
• How to get started with UX 
• Redesigning existing products and improving UX
