In my current role while we were about to launch an entire onboarding feature in
merchant app we didn't anticipated that it could fail, since we approached the
same process that we were following for years in agent app. However the product
failed due to it's lengthy and time consuming process, however we hid the
feature for few months, we introduced OCR, multiple retry option and ML to the
process and when we later released it it was a success. The thing I learnt from
this failure is that how important is pilot study and UAT testing on the field,
whatever the timeline is, pressure is, it's better to be late than failure
product.
