n old gardener loved every branch of his tree.
Each one reminded him of a different season.
His apprentices suggested pruning.
He refused.
"Every branch once gave beautiful fruit."
Years passed.
The tree became magnificent.
Wide.
Dense.
Impressive.
Yet the fruit grew smaller each year.
Sunlight no longer reached the center.
The healthiest branches slowly weakened beneath the weight of those that no longer produced.
The gardener finally understood.
Growth had never been the problem.
Attachment was.
Inside the Product Room
Teams celebrate launches.
Few celebrate removals.
Yet deleting a feature often creates more customer value than adding another.
Products don't become great only by growing.
They become great by remaining intentional.
Products don't become exceptional by adding endlessly. They become exceptional by knowing what no longer belongs.
