Identify Your Product Type

Projects allow you to organize a team of people around managing the risks to create and release the product. I am using the word product purposefully here. You may be accustomed to using the words release or system or application. Those words describe how the customers will use the product. However, if you have customers and you want to use an agile approach, consider thinking about products. That word will help you think in an agile way about everything.

Products have customers. Products are the result of a product-development team’s work. You will release products. You can decide if there is more value in releasing a product now or waiting until later based on what the company wants and the customers need.
