Product Management & Cooking Tell Me The Difference

I love to cook and also product management from my ancient times. I guess that I will never give up 2 things in my whole life one of them is Product management and other one is Cooking. Indeedly, they are so similar in terms of creating way and methods. Let’s talk about cooking first ;

* I don’t like to cook something traditional , I’m always searching something new, desirable and challenging..

* While I’m cooking , I need to focus my audience’s voice cuz they will eat them :)

* When I prepared somethink to cook, I need a method to cook,test and serve them like Agile/Scrum and furthermore ıt needs to be iterative. Because It’s notpossible to reach perfect recipe and cook at one time, You have to be iterative.

Finally when you cooked what you had, there is no warranty to customer will like or eat it.

And now Product Management ;

* I’m always looking for something new , something useful in terms of product development.

* I need to focus my customer, my target group or my personas, while I’m doing my job I have to understand their needs and desires.

When I started to development process, I need to have solid method and plan to launch them my features. After all, even if you run manuel or automated tests about new feature, nobody knows that customer will like it or not.
