Product Discovery Review: Finding Problems, Researching Users, Testing Assumptions, and Choosing Solutions Before Large-scale Development.

Problem brief and PRD-lite for discovery: what to fix, when to update and how not to replace the study by filling in a template.

How to perform product competitive analysis: user alternatives, scenarios, positioning, business model and evidence.

How to prepare and conduct a problem interview: respondents’ selection, questions about past behavior, notes and analysis of signals.

Opportunity Solution Tree: How to Connect Outcome, User Capabilities, Solutions, and Experiments in Continuous Discovery

Problem framing and assumptions map: how to describe a problem, separate facts from guesses, and choose the riskiest assumption.

Product research methods and selection rules: interview, observation, survey, usability test, prototype and data analysis.

How to synthesize research results: coding observations, patterns, opportunities, contradictions, and team decisions.

Usability testing of the product and prototype: tasks, scenario, moderation, observations, priority of problems and report.
