Secret 1: Design-led thinking
Poorly designed products have no chance in consumer products. Your design must be A+ to delight users.
It's not only about having the best designers. It's also attention to detail. Pixel-to-pixel precision when moving between screens.

Secret 2: Strong focus and prioritization
You don't need 20 features to solve a problem. You typically need one or maybe two features.
Focus on and prioritize the critical user journey. Downprioritize everything else. You need to set a very high bar not to distract the users.

Secret 3: Have the right metrics
You won't get far if you don't have a metric you optimize for. How do you measure success? How would you know that you are going in the right direction?
Pick the right metric. Instrumentalize it and quantify it so that everyone understands it.

Secret 4: Experiment and learn fast
Build an experimenting culture. You need to learn and fail or succeed as fast as possible.
In particular, engineers must be able to check in (commit) the code, see the results, and go to the release lightning-fast.

Secret 5: Have a strong talent
Underpinning all this is having a strong talent: product, design, data, engineering, and marketing.
It's not only about technical skills. You need a talented pool of people who like to build stuff and empathize with the customers.
