🟰 I probably consume and build side by side, one can’t be done properly without the other. Start building and consume on the side line. Learn by building.

One of the questions I heard lately How much do you consume content about AI and how much do you actually use it? Thoughts on how I do this 🧵

Product by Pim - Pim Minderman @productpim.bsky.social · 24/06/2025

♣️ Strategic bets Or product themes. Based on commercial data, user feedback, gut feeling and trends in the market, we look at what we put on the roadmap & what we want to go after. And this is led by business objectives. So, we weight it against risk, opportunities, problems and technical design.

010

Product by Pim - Pim Minderman @productpim.bsky.social · 24/06/2025

🪜 Next step: Focus on how you can align your strategic bets with other strategic bets or briefs. A shared objective empowered by multiple briefs has showed us in the past to have a bigger commercial success (more clients buying multiple solutions to solve the same problem)

Product by Pim - Pim Minderman @productpim.bsky.social · 24/06/2025

🕊️ Proposals. We split each brief into small, chunks of problems and solutions, so that we can focus on smaller objectives that can lead to bigger ones. #productbuilding

✉️ Briefs. On top of those strategic bets, we try to write a bigger brief where we layout why we did, metrics for success, personas, ideas, context, the (design vision).

Craft. 🧶 One aspect is the attention (and your eye for detail). 📐 Also known as aligning titles, tab buttons (and their hover states) with numeric indicators.

Why? Just to quickly share and validate ideas. In agency and without AI, there is no time to validate with wireframes, because it's not 'real'. In product and with AI, you can overcome this.

Product by Pim - Pim Minderman @productpim.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

How? Quick, dirty and fast brings results earlier. In agency and without AI, everything needs to be done yesterday. In product and with AI, everything can be done yesterday, but you can control today.

I have been ‘raised’ with no wireframing (agency) - It doesn’t emphasise with people’s imagination - Doesn’t work with content - Clients don’t understand it - Easy to use existing components. - You have to design twice. However, with AI building and work in product teams, wireframing is back.

Topics I am thinking about in the near future 🗣️ User research and feedback (Done!) ⚜️ What is craft in product design and how can you address it ©️ The world of copy in product design 🔄 Product iterations, how to tackle them, what issues, how is it valuable and why you (don’t) need it. And yours?

🤩 You are solving (design) problems for all your users everyday. So share those problems with clients. And asking them about theirs. So you can align and get feedback.

Usually not a massive fan of a brand positioning and messaging, if the product is not of value or not solving problems. However, with AI models, it's the other way around. ✋ Everyone is shouting about it, but does anyone actually know the difference between 3.5 Sonnet & GPT4o? ⚜️ Reposition it
