Too Long; Didn't Read
When I received the question on Quora, “What does ‘closing the feedback loop’ mean with regards to product management?”, I found immediate inspiration. It was the middle of a work day, so I chose to crank out <a href="https://www.quora.com/What-does-closing-the-feedback-loop-mean-with-regards-to-product-management/answer/Dan-Schmidt" target="_blank">an answer</a> and publish. But the question stuck with me. I had the intuition that feedback loops are core to product in a way that my cursory Quora response neglected. To follow the the thread, I set out to express feedback loops in the visual terms of <a href="https://productlogic.org/2014/06/22/the-product-management-triangle/" target="_blank">the product management triangle</a>. The result is a new, loopy iteration of the product triangle that expresses the substance of “product” in a way I haven’t done previously.
