"This book is fantastic. This is a must-read for designers who want to fulfill their potentialtreated equally to their peers in technology and businessand ultimately secure a seat at the table with business managers and developers. If you're a designer who thinks getting ahead means you have to go back to school for an MBA, read this book first. Pulling from agile methods in design, Fish and Kiekbusch provide a concrete step-by-step product vision process. The book proves while correcting lack of business acumen is important, vision is the designer's way forward.

I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in design leadership."
