It is important to balance innovative features with practical considerations. Understand your users' needs and pain points through research and feedback. Identify the core features that will solve their problems and deliver the most value. Consider the practicality of implementing these features, including cost, time, and resources. Focus on a mix of exciting innovations that set your product apart and essential functionalities that ensure it works well and meets user expectations.

Deciding between innovative features and practical considerations is like choosing between a savings account and a promising stock. Practical updates, like a savings account, are safe, likely low-effort, and reliable but don’t offer unexpected high returns. In contrast, innovative features resemble a risky stock investment—demanding more effort yet carrying the potential for significant upside and also the risk of loosing all. To balance these, assess available resources, including time, talent, and finances, then gauge your team’s risk tolerance. If a mandatory, practical feature upgrade is urgently needed to counter a strong competitor, it may be wise to prioritize stability over risky innovation.
