Two recurring issues are: 1) underestimation of product development efforts 2) off-target product/market fit Are you developing the right product? How do you know you are not supporting a technology looking for a problem to solve rather than a solution to a real user need? And if you are solving a real problem, will your first product actually meet the market need? It often takes at least a few revisions to get the alignment right. And in the worst case, your first product might be way off base. How confident are you in the product development cost estimations presented to you?IPS Company Confidential- Contains confidential and proprietary intellectual property of IPS.
