Continuous Discovery Habits by Teresa Torres

The goal of this book is to help you understand continuous discovery habits; to build better products, for you and your customer. Teresa Torres introduces opportunity solution trees, explains why you should measure success by product outcome, the importance of customer interviews and mapping the opportunity space.

This might be actionable at companies with large product teams and large projects that need to be planned—while reading this with a startup in mind I found it hard to map to my day-to-day, although I picked up some ideas I want to implement.

I personally would’ve gotten more from this book if it started with a practical application of these habits, to first get an overview of what this book helps you achieve and with what. During the first half of the book it was all this theory with little insight on the value of it, that came in the second half. One of the last chapters has practical advice how you can start implementing some of these habits at your current workplace.

If this is interesting to you, go give it a read, but I recommend starting with chapter fourteen.
