creating your own product.
-Stage1 : Develop the idea
This is the brainstorming stage.The product team looks foe ways to
solve the problems for their user personas.During this phase,the
team will generate several prduct ideas.
-Stage2 :Validate the idea.
By the end of the first stage,the team will have a long list orf product
concepts.The goal now is to narrow the list to one product or feature
worth pursing.Thera are several ways of screening ideas to learn
which are the most viable.

create a very simple mockup of the application.they could even
develop only a wireframe.
