If you wait too long because you overscoped the release, you lose the money you could have been making. Worse, a competitor could swoop in and steal your market. Then you’d have a higher threshold to entry, and your product will need to be light years better than the competition’s. On the flip side, you don’t want to release something that is terrible and provides minimal benefit to the user in order to get it out early. Then you could lose early adopters, and it’s difficult to win someone back after they’ve had a terrible experience.
