For me, the biggest challenge scaling a product was keeping the quality level high while speeding up development and onboarding new team members. We overcame it by investing heavily in automated testing, code reviews, and extensive onboarding documentation and training. This let us move fast without breaking things too badly. Curious what's worked for others!
For me, the hard part is going from 0 to 1. When you're working on a product that has some traction, you can double down on what's working. Before you have traction, you have to think about what makes sense to try first (and what you can try without spending too much money).
@dan_gower indeed. finding what clicks is tough. but i feel this happens every now and then. even with mature products. people get bored of things too fasst.
@elena_opreag i am still learning and figuring it out. but it moves from being super personalised to process driven. problem is i still like to have a great amount of personal touch involved but it gets tough when you scale.
