The Birth and Growth of a Product
summary
Only about 6% of ideas that reach development become commercial successes and 14% of promising ideas do; startup survival in 2020 is grim (roughly 20% fail in year one, 34% by year two, 50% by five years, only ~25% make 15 years). Practical moves that work: obsess on one problem for one customer, deliver alpha and beta before MVP to prove value, hire a one-pizza team of full‑stack generalists, strip process early (no standups) then adopt Scrum post‑MVP; move from Trello to Jira or VersionOne, use WSJF and scaled frameworks like SAFe for portfolio prioritization.
