31. BROAD PRODUCT DEFINITION
As broad as feasible (global optimization)
• Expanding questions
– Who are the actual end-customers and what do they consider
the product to be?
– What is the original problem that the product is solving?
• Narrowing questions
– What is within your company?
– What is within your control?
– Can you state a clear vision for the product?
