Before You Build: Product Discovery Working Kit

Before you ask a coding assistant to build, decide who the product is for and what you need to learn.

This free kit helps you work through three stages: understand the problem, define a small first version, and explain why someone should try it.

You get a 10-page PDF with 12 practical steps, optional AI prompts and a fictional worked example, plus six editable Markdown worksheets for conversations, evidence, scope, testing, positioning and your next invitation.

The exercises draw on The Mom Test, The Lean Product Playbook and Obviously Awesome. They are original adaptations for Product Shipping with AI. No coding experience or paid tools are needed.

Bring an idea, prototype or unfinished project. Use it for a commercial product, an internal tool or a community service.
