Goal
To understand the problem or briefing at hand, depending on how ambiguous the projects seems
Process
I personally don’t have a particular process here. Ideas for apps and SaaS can come and be verified in a variety of ways. Generally, speaking to one industry expert can yield a lot of niche problems and then validating it with surveys or a quick MVP is the best way to validate a problem.
Learnings
- Even early on, managing expectations on what’s feasible with stakeholders is important in aligning on what a sufficient MVP looks like
- Creatively framing questions to yield particular insights in understand the problem-spaces – instead of asking general questions like “do you like this?” ask situation-type questions: “when you first used it, did you encounter any difficulties?”
ℹ️ Pro Tip: want better AI outputs for any work flow?
Ask it planning-type prompts before executing plans to refine how it works to ensure better output.
Some questions include: do you have anything to clarify? Or give me a confidence rating on the plan and why you rated it that way.
