Ask Who decides what product to build in a tech company?

[kayode10]

The type of products to be made are decided by the team effort in the tech company. In most cases, product managers often take the lead. They research and gather insights from customers and market trends. They collaborate with the leadership team to align product goals with the company's vision. Engineers and designers also play a big role by offering input on what's feasible and user-friendly.

Customers directly influence decisions through feedback or specific requests during the beta test. In startups, the founder might drive the vision but he will leave the rest of the work in the hands of the team. The best decisions happen when the team works together. They ensure to balance innovation, demand, and practicality.

Who do you think should have the final say? Let's discuss in the comment section.

Product managers usually take the lead in this regard. They talk to customers, engineers, designers, and bosses to figure out what makes sense. Engineers check if it's doable, designers make it easy to use, and bosses make sure it fits the company's goals. Data and trends help, too. In the end, the PM kinda juggles everyone's ideas and decides what to tackle next
