At first I was nodding my head, looking for where he ties it all together with the marketing that's the other important side to building a product. Then I realize he's not building products at all, he's doing client work. The whole thing is just an intro to Agile. And not even a very good one at that.
A title like "The art of building products" is upvote bait for HN users. I don't do it anymore but I used to upvote submissions with titles like that without reading the article. My thinking being that if my vote gets someone else to read it I can check the comments to see what kind of discussion it generates and whether the article itself is worth reading. These days so much of this fluff makes it to the front page that I am more careful about what I upvote.
