But, before getting into the questions, it’s important to have a
clear North Star
- What is the expected outcome?
Worse than not scoring the goal is scoring the wrong goal, it will generate a product
debt that making it harder to use and working on the product.
- What is the expected impact?
The size of goal should reflect on how much time you will invest in the product
discovery process

Last but not least, great PMs don’t spend their time on solutions
Most product teams
How we should be spending our time
“...obsess about the problem
definition. Then see how fast
and easy it is to know what to
build, to build it, and to see
customers value it because
you truly understood what
they needed.”

Start with a reflection:
● What I know that I know
○ List the assumptions
● What I know that I don’t know
○ Investigate the areas
● What I don’t know that I don’t know
○ Run exploratory research

counter metrics, ...
Large volume of options Opportunity tree, ...
Risk mitigator process
Minimum Lovable Product Usability Test,
Paper Prototype, Participatory Design, ...

● Tips
○ Diverse group and collaborative to
think about possible solutions
■ Piggyback ideas
■ Share all the information you
have
○ Process just finishes when you solve
the problem with a reasonable quality
level (build for the long-term)
■ Watch out for product and UX
debts
■ Analyze the data and talk with
customers
○ Engineers should be close since the
beginning of the design process to
guide the designers to the most
feasible path
■ If the designer invest too much
time on the solution, they might
get too emotional attached to
the solution
