The Missing Feedback Loop
How to build a product is not a new topic. Proper usage of methodologies, processes, practices, collaboration techniques can yield amazing results for the team, the organisation, and for the end-users of your product.
While there is a lot of emphasis on the processes and practices side, one aspect that is still spoken about “loosely” is the feedback loop from your consumers / end-users and how it leads to making better design, feature and user experience decisions.
SO, what is this feedback loop? Is it a myth? How do you measure it? Is there a “magic” formula to understand this data received? How to you add value to your product using this data?
In this session, with the help of a case study, we will understand and also answer the following questions:
- The importance of knowing your Consumers
- How do you know your product is working well for your Consumers?
- How do you know your Consumers are engaged with your product?
- Can you draw inferences and patterns from the data to reach of point of being able to make predictions on Consumer behavior, before any implementation changes? - I refer to this as the golden-state for the product & the team
- Prerequisites for Teams and Individuals to allow making predictions
