Define your target users
1. Picture a portrait of your customer
2. Write some facts demographic, be specific
3. Brainstorm their behaviour, how are they solving problem now?
4. Validate! could enough people like this exist? if not re-do your work
Unique Value Propositions
• Imagine it’s time to launch your product. What is the first announcing tweet you will send out?
• Writing that can help the team focus their strategy in 140 characters… or less.
Prototype first• Design sprints are a framework to
solve and test design problems in 2-5 days
• Adapted by Google UX teams, Google Ventures and Google X
• The sprint gives teams a shortcut to learning without building and launching
• Ensure the design is simple enough for your audience

Understand user behaviour
• Kill it: admit defeat, and start to remove it from your product.
• Increase the adoption rate: get more people to use it.
• Increase the frequency: get people to use it more often.
• Deliberately improve it: make it quantifiably better for those who use it.
qualitative survey and in-site analytics
Prioritise through a roadmap
Define the theme for next 2-3 months
Breakdown roadmap into concrete release markers
Rarely say yes to feature requests• Does it fit your vision? • Will it improve, complement or
innovate on the existing workflow?
• Does it grow the business? • Will it generate new meaningful
engagement?
Prioritisation tips
Three buckets of features
• Metrics movers
• Customer requests
• Innovation ideas
Measure your app
• Do more A/B testing i.e compare recommendation algorithm, headline testing
• Define metrics you want to track and start collecting data from your app
• User activation, analyse why users are happy and some come never again
