Its pretty simple, but instead of a fine businessplan we have chosen to build our planning up like this
- How many customers do We need to complete phase one.
What do We ned to have ready on the product
Where should our marketing be, to complete phase one.
We have build up some clear goals, and when we have reach them, We are ready for step 2.
This is the best way for us.What is the best way for you?
