iterations.design 002 • jam packed with powerful reads & tools
By Julian Paul • Issue #2 • View online
As promised, iterations.design is back with consistency. And I want to start writing a little more personal in these intro’s. So here we go. This week, I am super pumped to say one of the articles I wrote on the relationship between CAC & LTV got into the Better Marketing Medium publication. Articles, just like design and product development have a massively iterative process behind them. I usually get a ton of words/structure down very quickly, but editing takes the bulk of my time. Cutting words, rearranging paragraphs, and adding more clarity usually happens after many iterations. And sometimes rewriting half of the thing is an absolute necessity. As iterators, I think we can all relate to getting content, design or product to that “good enough” stage… we’re all our greatest critics at the end of the day, no? This is why having well-designed iterative processes is so imperative to reach outcomes.
Without further ado, let’s dive into your weekly dose of iterations ↓

The critical role of discovery in product development by Matthew Godfrey
“…Another way to think of discovery is as an ongoing and continuous stream of activities carried out by a product team (or a subset of) in order to determine, to a degree of confidence, what to build; before they decide how to build it…”
