About This Session
Wrapping up Labs* with the 6th session! It’s time to put your solution out there. With your survey findings, you can crystalize your product vision, break down your future iterations to develop a product roadmap, and see how to iterate on versions of your solution going forward.
Two Week To-Do’s
Continue or Call It on Your Survey
- If you have 30 “early-vangelists,” you can stop iterating & distributing your survey
- If you don’t yet have those 30, refer to the slides and Session 6 video to decide which parts of your survey (distribution or the design of the survey itself) you need to work on
Analyzing & Coding Your Survey Results
- Open the Survey Results Template, make a copy, and start logging your insights
- Filter the answers by different audiences to understand which solutions are most desired
Product Canvas
- Use the Product Canvas to capture your insights from all of Labs*, particularly the Top Solutions and Ideas you will focus on moving forward
Create a Product Roadmpa
- If you haven’t done the activities from Session 5, start there.
- Use the Product-Market Fit Guidelines (image below) to analyze all of the solution ideas
- Choose Your Approach:
- The Top-Down Approach: Start with your total product vision, and reduce it to several versions that will build on top of each other
- Bottom-Up: Start with what you can give them right now (“first offer”) and iterate based on customer feedback
- Determine the order in which you will build/introduce new products, features, and services you’re with some due dates.
Product Iterations
- Document your To-Be Customer Journey (see guide)
- If you haven’t yet done the Opt-In and Landing Page, start there
- Use the Tasks & User Flows guide to break down the steps you want site visitors to take with your opt-in
- Use the Initial Prototyping guide to sketch a visual representation of that journey
