Getting to Produck Market Fit
Danny Setiawan describes the stages startups go through and tools to validate hypotheses to get to product/market fit. The stages are problem/solution fit, then product/market fit, then growth. Tools include creating proto-personas, problem framing stories, user journey mapping, storyboarding, surveys, user interviews, and usability testing. Danny offers coaching, workshops, training, and support to help companies test hypotheses and get user feedback to progress through the stages.

- 19. @dsetia_1dSetia Storyboarding • What isit? • A visual representation of how the end-user would interact with your product in a given scenario (where/ when) • Why do it? • Helps uncovers the limitations and opportunities based on the context the end-user is in
- 20. @dsetia_1dSetia Survey • Why doit? • Gather large numbers of responses very quickly • Get quantitative feedback immediately • Good way to recruit people for user interviews
- 21. Good survey questions •short and to the point • have a clear, distinct answer • low cognitive load • don’t get fancy
- 22. Good or Bad? Inthe last week, what percentage of your social media time online do you estimate that you spent on your computer vs your mobile device with Twitter vs Facebook? On average, how many hours per week do you spend on Twitter?
- 23. @dsetia_1dSetia User Interviews • Whatis it? • Series of 1-on-1 conversations with people who represent your end-users • Why do it? • Can gather rich, targeted information • Flexible, can explore tangents or unexpected areas
- 24. How to askquestions • Be wary of priming • Don’t ask leading questions • Never ask about intention, always probe behavior BAD QUESTION “How many times do you plan to go to the gym?” GOOD QUESTION “How many times have you been to the gym in the last 3 months?”
- 25. Focus on specificinstances “Have you ever had ________ problem”? “Tell about the last time you ....” Avoid generalizations and speculations: “What do you usually ...”
- 26. Keep people talking “Tellme more about that” “What do you mean by...” but also embrace awkward silences … Often the best insights come up when participants feel the need to fill silent voids.
- 27. Interview preparation • Recordinterviews if possible • Always ask permission • Explain why and that it’s for private use • Prepare a discussion guide • Focus on topics rather than list of questions • Should be a conversation
- 28. During the interview •Start off with small talk, even if you hate it • Don’t finish sentences • Take notes but remain focussed on participant • Spend equal energy listening as talking • But only talk 20% of the time • Ask follow-up questions (5 why’s) • If you divert off topic: “That’s really interesting. Can you tell me how that connects to...”
- 29. Where to findparticipants • The hardest part is finding the right people. • Where to find them: ‣ Coffee shops ‣ Social networks and forums (i.e. Meetup) ‣ Craigslist ads ‣ Recruiters ‣ Friends of friends/family • Anywhere you believe your users spend time
- 30. @dsetia_1dSetia Usability Testing • Whatis it? • Validating your solution by observing users complete predefined tasks • Why do it? • uncovers ways to minimize the effort to complete the tasks that solve the user’s problem
- 31. @dsetia_1dSetia What to test? •Flow : any missing step/screen? • Content : any missing content? • Use cases : any major use case we missed?
