How does the product mindset differ from the project mindset?

Product mindset is focused on creating value for the user and business in the long term. This approach emphasizes product development, improvement, and adaptation to market and user needs. The goal is not just to complete a task, but to make the product successful and in demand.

Project mindset is centered on executing a specific project with defined deadlines, budget, and outcomes. It emphasizes plan implementation, requirement adherence, and completing the work within the project scope, often without considering further product development.

Example: a team with a product mindset will constantly gather feedback, improve the product after release, while a team with a project mindset will focus on completing tasks outlined in the project documentation and delivering the project.
