Framework
The four operating habits of a product trio
What a product manager, designer and engineer do together every week
The four habits Teresa Torres describes for product trios: talk to a customer every week, own one outcome, map the opportunity space and test assumptions before building. Product managers, designers and engineers can use them as a team agreement. Koji's always-on AI interviews can help keep the weekly habit going.
Where this appears
What's in this framework
- Weekly customer touchpoints: The trio talks to at least one customer per week, together.
- Outcome over output: One measurable outcome to own, not a feature roadmap.
- Map the opportunity space: Trace every solution back to a real customer need.
- Test assumptions before building: Find the riskiest assumption and design a small test.
