Working Backwards

Working Backwards emphasizes the importance of starting with the desired end result when developing new products or initiatives. This approach allows teams to clarify their objectives and design processes that lead to successful outcomes. For example, by writing a press release before a product is developed, teams can focus on the customer benefits and essential features, ensuring that all efforts align with the ultimate goal.
