Securing investment for product ideas can be tough for product managers.

Here are seven steps to improve chances:

If you and your team can agree on a certain focus

with the product leaders and important stakeholders

BEFORE getting to work,

then your prioritization of what work to do, actually will help you reach

valuable results.

That’s all.

Focus over prioritization.

Strategy over road mapped deliveries.

Never (seldom) set hard dates.

Deploy, release or launch when ready.

Release ≠ Launch

Deploy = is the process of making software available for an environment

Release = is where you make the newly deployed changes available to your user

Launch = is a strategic (non-technical) activity

2. Speak the language of business: Frame your pitch using financial metrics that resonate with leaders. Focus on potential return on investment (ROI), cost savings, or increased revenue.
