product-lifecycle-learning

De la autor

Compare intended product outcomes against observed results to close the launch-to-learning loop: collect post-launch evidence, distinguish expected from observed from uncertain from inferred claims, update assumptions, assess feature health, and choose among continue/improve/harvest/pivot/pause/retire — including retirement lifecycles with deprecation, migration, customer treatment, and retained reusable learning. Do not use for incident postmortems or root-cause analysis (routes to incident-learning or site-reliability-engineering); do not use for analytics instrumentation or metric dashboard design (routes to product-analytics-and-measurement); do not use arbitrary thresholds as universal retirement rules — decisions require human judgment and context.
