3 steps are crucial to build meaningful products:
Step 1: Definition 
Vision & Alignment: Workshops to deep dive into Market Opportunity and Product Vision from Owner.
Problem Research: Collect market and user insights, define proto-user personas and what they expect from the product.
Concept Design: Ideate solutions and early low-fi prototyping in collaboration with users and owner.
Testing & Validation: Test concept design and validate business design considerations (e.g GTM, business model etc).
Design Brief: Capture design concept into a “design brief” to inform the product design phase.
Roles Involved & Weeks
Step 2: Design
Epics & User Stories: Extract list of Epics that the product should deliver and breakdown Epics by user story.
User Journeys: Design Happy/Unhappy Paths for each Epic.
Engineering Feasibility: Assess the feasibility of key engineering concepts that the product should adopt.
UX and UI Design: Design low-fi wireframes (UX), and then leverage visual identity of the brand to design UI of key pages.
Work Plan & Estimates: High-level estimate of effort & cost using “t-shirt sizes” and map out work plan.
Roles Involved & Weeks
Step 3: Development
Sprint 0: Decide tech stack, design IT architecture, DevOps, setup boilerplate code, mobilize team, define backlog.
Build Sprints: Deliver the backlog for each 2-week Sprint, according to its “acceptance criteria” and “definition of done”.
Pre-release UAT: Validate with SME/POs that fully integrated code and functionality meets user requirements, prior to release.
Release: Deploy product release to the end users, validate functionality works in the live environment.
Maintain + Build: Fix bugs and maintain live product, while active development team continues extending system.
