Not Understanding The Problem It is important to understand the problem before jumping into solution mode 01

Slide 24

Slide 24 text

Not Talking to Users or having a Proper Feedback Cycle Not talking to users quickly enough, early enough or frequently enough 04 Not Defining Users/Jobs-to-be-done/Needs Not defining the opportunity, users and their needs/jobs 03 Not Understanding Stakeholders/Market/Ecosystem Have a limited understanding of the market, ecosystem and the various stakeholder 02

Slide 25

Slide 25 text

Analysis: Not analysing data properly Analyse data to create artifacts that assist in the direction of the startup/product 06 Measurement: Too little or too much Not measuring at all or measuring too little or too much. 05

Slide 26

Why Product Research? - Conducting market and user research enables you to understand what your users actually need and how the market is like - Good research informs your product, and the fact that it comes early in the design process will save you a lot of resources(time and money) down the road - Plus, with solid research, selling your ideas to stakeholders will be a lot easier.

Product Research Techniques Market Research - What Is the market? - Who are your competitors? - Who are the important stakeholders? 01. Qualitative Research - What do users need? - What are their goals and aspirations? - What are the challenges users face? 02. Quantitative Research - How to confirm or reject certain hypotheses? - Statistical analysis of data 03. Understand

Problems With This Onboarding Approach Onboarding Problems Value proposition: An app’s purpose isn’t always readily apparent. Activation: Primary goal of onboarding Before they achieve action, users are - Trying out the product - Understanding the value proposition, features - Determining if it is a good fit for them Activation is the point at which users "get your product and its value proposition" Complexity: Users will abandon the signup flow if it becomes overwhelming. Assistance: Asking for help isn’t always easy. Language: Is this app or its content relevant to me Understand

Slide 39

Know Know about the product, features 01 Do Perform an action in the product 02 Feel Feel happy, confident, connected 03 Believe Believe the product is relevant to me 04 Activation or a Revelation Activation is when people get the value proposition of your app - Understanding value proposition - Relevance to the user Activation Steps Understand

Sketching/Sketchstorming Use rough sketches/diagrams to express ideas/potential solutions and explore the design space. Scamper Question problems through action verbs (“Substitute”, “Combine”, “Adapt”, “Modify”, “Put to another use”, “Eliminate”, “Reverse”) to produce solutions. Crowdstorming Target audiences generate and validate ideas through feedback (e.g., social media) to provide valuable solution insights. Crazy 8s Force people to come up with 8 ideas in 8 mins Mindmapping Use this graphical technique to connect ideas to problems’ major and minor qualities. Brainstorming Build good ideas from each other’s wild ideas, can be done individually or in groups
