Product Discovery

Description

Use when validating product opportunities, mapping assumptions, planning discovery sprints, or testing problem-solution fit before committing delivery resources.

What this skill does

1. 1Facilitates an Opportunity Solution Tree from a single measurable outcome down to opportunities, solution ideas, and experiments tied to user evidence.
2. 2Maps assumptions across desirability, viability, feasibility, and usability dimensions, then scores each by risk and certainty to determine test priority.
3. 3Structures problem validation through behavioral interviews, journey friction mapping, support ticket synthesis, and analytics triangulation.
4. 4Plans solution validation using concept tests, prototype usability tests, fake door experiments, and limited beta cohorts.
5. 5Outputs a 10-day discovery sprint structure with daily evidence reviews and a decision framework: proceed, pivot, or stop.

When to use

• Your team is debating a feature and you need to validate whether the underlying problem is real before committing to delivery.
• You want to run a structured discovery sprint with explicit hypotheses rather than shipping based on intuition.
• Assumption mapping has not been done for a high-risk bet and you need to surface which unknowns to test first.
• Product metrics revealed an opportunity but you are unsure which solution direction to pursue and want a structured framing.
