As an agile, okr, lean, and pragmatic product guy... we still aren't here yet. Tell dev teams 'why' and they complain about not having 'what.' tell them 'what'

As an agile, okr, lean, and pragmatic product guy... we still aren't here yet.
Tell dev teams 'why' and they complain about not having 'what.' tell them 'what' and they complain about not having 'how.' tell them 'how' and they complain about not having 'what' and tell you to mind your own business.
The problem is that it's too much for one person to define. i think the solution is having technical ux people (yikes) work on the 'how' with the devs and users.
- kthejoker2 7y agoI guess I don't understand if you've got a good why it's so hard to arrive at some reasonable approximation of what. You can so quickly prototype and test a bunch of whats. You can draw things on paper, you can spend a week luxuriating in all the whats if you have a good why. And if you don't have a good why, no amount of design or development will save you.
