The What, Why, and Where of Sunsetting a Product
Breakups are hard. It takes bravery to end a relationship, but that clear vision is often clouded by the fear of what comes next. In business, this fear leads to a dangerous stagnation.
Are you the sort of person who tolerates the bare minimum? Are you keeping customers on the hook with a less-than-adequate product experience just to avoid a difficult conversation?
