Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

To create connections
between people and
organisations in a local
innovation community
and people and
organisations from around
the world that otherwise
might not connect
5. What do we mean by connect ?
To connect means to:

research insights and real-world
problems
• to tackle common problems and
jointly solve problems across
industries, across boundaries
• to create professional relationships
that endure, and actions that leave
a legacy
6. How do we decide on a destination?
• connections with local
innovation community > event
partners
• partners contribute to
programme design (+ provide
delegates, local challenges, local
marketing, sponsorship etc)
• the city as an innovation and
personal destination makes
sense for non-locals
