pm-market-problems
From the author
Run Pragmatic Institute market discovery and validate real market problems before anything gets built. Use when a PM says "I want to build a feature", "do market research", "talk to customers", "discovery", "validate this idea", "is this problem real", "NIHITO", or "who should I interview". Enforces the outside-in rule: build only for problems that are urgent, pervasive, and that the market will pay to solve. Produces a Market Discovery Document and a Market Problems Table as a Markdown or Word .docx artifact.
