I was recently asked to lead a new product line in a space where our company doesn’t have much historical data or expertise, and it's terrifying. There’s pressure to ship something fast to “test the market,” but my gut says we need more discovery, experiments, and alignment on what success actually means. When you’ve been in a high-ambiguity, how did you feel about balancing speed versus thoughtful discovery?

You need to get a alignment with your leadership on what they want very specific KPI’s.

You run the risk of not having a alignment and no matter what you do it will fail

Desi folks - question on travelling outside US while you're on L1B visa. I have my valid visa stamp till 2022. Do any of you know if we can travel to India in Dec and come back in Jan? Or is it affected by the Trump executive order that was passed in Jun that said non-immigrant workers can't enter the country till Dec 31? Just wondering if I leave for holidays, will I not be allowed back. Any sort of clarification you might have is helpful. FYI - I was in US before that June ruling came out. Thx
