      Honestly feels more like AI to me. “Write an article about project management using a random movie as a source of important lessons”

        Also if we give it the benefit of the doubt (and it really is a stretch to make this work lol): I could make the argument that this person meant to write: “The movie has such a terrible premise, yet it was successful enough to have two sequels. Learning how it got that success despite the material’s premise taught me these 5 things about product management:” and just worded it terribly.

      You mean these reasons?

      1. It’s important to start small and iterate The film centres around Dr Heiter’s ambitious plan. His MVP involved “connecting” 3 dogs. The experiment didn’t work out well but gave him invaluable information for his next attempt. PM takeaway: Start small & iterate

      2. Concentrate on the problem, not the solution Dr Heiter spent so long trying to determine whether he could perform his operation that he forgot to coherently explain why he even wanted to do it. PM takeaway: Don’t get obsessed with technology. Concentrate on use cases.

      3. Sustainability is important It didn’t take long before the victims of his scheme started to suffer from his short-term thinking & poor hygiene practices. PM takeaway: Even the best product has tech debt - you need a plan to mitigate it

      4. Communication is everything Dr Heiter reduced his chance of getting timely user feedback by only allowing one of his victims, a Japanese man, the ability to speak. Crucially, Heiter didn’t speak Japanese. PM takeaway: Give everyone a voice & be aware of cultural differences

      5. Where there’s a will there’s a way Dr Heiter was eventually thwarted through a combination of the efforts of his victims and local law enforcement. They battled incredible odds to “win” the day. PM takeaway: Even when times are hard, sometimes you have to keep pushing
