Rahul commented on the post, How to apply the Jobs-to-be-Done framework for user needs analysis 3 months, 4 weeks ago
JTBD is powerful in that it focuses on the user (the essence of user-centered design) rather than the capability of the seller. The user doesn’t know what will solve their problem and neither does the team trying to find a solution. There is value in solving pain-points for users rather than showing off the latest shiny-app that you created using…[Read more]

Rahul commented on the post, Using personas for user-centered product innovation 4 months, 2 weeks ago
This article comes at an interesting time, Vipin – especially when there is a new school of thought being floated in the UX community about the ineffectiveness of personas.

Rahul commented on the post, How to Use Quantitative Research for Product Innovation 4 months, 3 weeks ago
If you’re starting out to build your first survey – then my recommendation will be to test it with a few people to see the ‘quality’ of your questions.

It’ll be interesting to…[Read more]

Rahul commented on the post, 10 questions to perform quick industry research as a product innovator 7 months, 1 week ago
This is a great starting point, Vipin. It’s like the guardrails in an ice-rink which gives you support and guidance when you need it. The important aspect of doing industry research is not to treat these questions at only face value – it is imperative to understand the intent behind the question. So when you look for something like “A day in the…[Read more]

Rahul commented on the post, Opportunity Hypothesis: First step towards creating successful products 7 months, 4 weeks ago
Agree with the first piece that being in product means identifying opportunities and creating value for your customers and for your business.
In principle, I like the idea of thinking of a PM as an Opportunity Innovation Manager. It is the responsibility of a PM to create an environment and manage people/expectations/resources to collectively…[Read more]
