Thinking about software developers
Agile software development is an approach that emphasises continuous collaboration, flexibility and incremental delivery of value. Unlike traditional methods, which tend to follow a sequential and rigid approach, agile development promotes rapid adaptation to change and continuous improvement throughout the project lifecycle. Based on principles such as constant interaction between teams and customers, and the delivery of functional products at regular intervals, agile development seeks to maximise efficiency and customer satisfaction by enabling rapid adaptation to new needs and challenges.
Two fundamental books:

Creating successful digital products
Creating successful digital products requires a strategic approach that combines market research, user-centred design and effective execution.
First, it conducts in-depth market research to identify needs and opportunities, ensuring that the product responds to real demand. Then develop a prototype that reflects an intuitive and engaging user experience, using constant feedback to refine and improve the design. In addition, create a solid marketing strategy to promote your product and ensure you have a technical support plan in place to resolve issues and maintain customer satisfaction. The combination of rigorous research, careful design and effective execution will enable you to launch digital products that are not only innovative, but also successful in the marketplace.
