Product 103: The How - Feasibility & Product Development

Cap off your journey through the mHUB Discovery Workshop Series with our final installment: “THE HOW: Feasibility & Product Development.” This session is all about bringing your product to life, focusing on the people you’re building for and the standards that define success. 

Workshop Overview: 

• Acceptance Criteria: Learn to set clear, actionable standards for your product development. We’ll introduce the concept of Acceptance Criteria (AC) and how it translates business assumptions into functional requirements. 

• Product Requirements Documentation (PRD): Transition from AC to the specifics of your product. Whether it’s design, materials, or technology, we’ll guide you through drafting a PRD that aligns with your business strategy. 

Join us for this hands-on workshop and master ‘THE HOW’ behind creating products that resonate with your customers and meet the highest standards of excellence.
