Building better products

There are tons of discussion on what makes a great product person, but what I believe it really boils down to approach and personality. Following are qualities I think are important that I have seen in great product people

  • Good Better Taste: Not only critique but a strong personality and intuition on what the client/user is going to like. 
  • Great Communicators: Its all about convincing people, which in turn boils down to communication. Getting ideas across, making a point
  • Pragmatist: These guys know what 80/20 rule is all about, have good intuition on what will work and what won’t. 

Some day, surely I would love to see some sort of analytical framework around what makes designs/designers remarkable.
