📘 Broken by Design — Now Available (Free for Subscribers)

Reinvented, misunderstood, and misused — MVPs became the quiet killer of good products. It’s time to reclaim clarity, and ship with intent.

I’ve worked in product long enough to witness the full arc of how we build: the pressure to move fast, the scramble to ship “something lean,” and the quiet regret that follows when that thing doesn’t land.

In boardrooms, sprint reviews, and launch retros across startups and enterprise teams, I’ve seen a pattern repeat itself:

• Products released under the guise of “MVPs” with no learning goal

• Teams building with urgency but not alignment

• Features launched just to check a box — not to uncover truth

We’re in an era where product quality is at an all-time low — not because teams don’t care, but because our decision-making has been compromised by speed theater, stakeholder noise, and broken frameworks.

We didn’t just move fast.

We moved without direction.

That’s why I wrote Broken by Design.

Because the problem isn’t the MVP.

It’s how we’ve come to use it.

This book is my attempt to reset that — to give teams the clarity, language, and tools to build MVPs that matter.
