"I don't know, I need to check"
Sound familiar? This phrase in critical meetings signals a deeper problem. When engineers lack deep product understanding but race to build new features, innovation stalls and revenue suffers. ThyProduct aims to help engineers master the products they are working on.
Why Knowledge Gaps Persist Across Organizations
The critical challenge in product vision flow
We've observed a fundamental challenge in how product vision and critical knowledge flow—or rather, fail to flow—down the organizational hierarchy.
Imagine your company's product vision and core knowledge at its clearest at the top. This is where strategic goals are set and the holistic understanding resides. But as this vital information travels down through the layers, approx. 70% of knowledge is lost.
Product Leadership
While product leaders understand the vision deeply, their primary focus shifts to defining roadmaps and prioritizing features. In this translation, some nuances of the original vision can begin to diffuse or be condensed.
Engineering Management
Managers are intensely focused on execution, meeting deadlines, and resource allocation. The pressure to "just get things done" often means less time for deep dives into overarching product philosophy.
Individual Contributors (Engineers)
Engineers are driven to build new features, solve immediate problems, and often prioritize personal growth through visible innovation. They might not fully grasp the "why" behind what they're building.
This top-down dilution is compounded by rapid tech evolution, siloed information, and the sheer volume of daily tasks. The result? A workforce eager to innovate, but often without the foundational product and code mastery required to truly excel.
Why Knowledge Gaps Are Your Biggest Hidden Cost
In today's fast-paced development world, deep product understanding isn't a luxury—it's essential.
Wasted Time
Engineers spend hours searching for answers or fixing preventable mistakes.
Misaligned Innovation
Projects go off track because the team doesn't fully grasp the product vision, leading to features that don't truly solve user problems.
Revenue Loss
Studies show inefficiencies from knowledge gaps can cost 10-20% of revenue.
And with AI writing more code, engineers need a stronger foundational understanding than ever.
