My first 100 days as a Product Marketer!

In the last 5 years, I have worked on building Network Security (mostly Firewalls and NGIPS) and related Management products.

How do I know whether my idea is worth t...
The short and straightforward answer is no one knows. I don’t believe anyone can ever be 100% sure on whether their idea is worth built into product/offering because either by the time you become 100% sure you will see businesses around the same idea (very likely) or no one else has had the same genius […]

How do I decide which features to implement? Which feature to implement next or first is a difficult to answer question whether you are managing a matured product or trying to build new product?
