Value-impact
Good products are designed to deliver value to both users and the business. However, the primary focus should always be on addressing the needs and goals of users. Placing user needs first ensures that the product serves its intended purpose and brings value to users. Neglecting user needs and prioritizing company profits can lead to wasted resources and creating a beautiful but ultimately useless product. For example, consider YouTube, which offers free content streaming to users while generating revenue through advertisements and premium ad-free subscriptions. This approach ensures that users can access the desired content without financial barriers, while the company still benefits from ad and subscription-based monetization.
