Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
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

Simple present vs present progressive
- 1. Simple Present vs. Present Progressive
- 2. Use the simple present for: 1) An action that happens repeatedly (habitual action) 2) General or permanent situations 3) Facts Use the present progressive for: 1) Something that is happening now 2) A temporary situation
- 3. Simple Present (Examples) 1) Habitual Action: Camila goes fishing every Sunday. I usually work until 2:00 p.m. My family comes to visit me every year. *Frequency adverbs: these adverbs are commonly used with simple present: Always, never, usually, sometimes, often, etc.
- 4. Simple Present (More Examples) 2) General or Permanent Situations: My family lives far away. Jack doesn’t work on Saturday. Beth and Toan work at the Hospital. 3) Facts: The bus passes everyday. Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius. The Eiffel Tower is in Paris.
- 5. Present Progressive (Examples) 1) Action happening now or close to time of speaking: Where’s Tom? He’s playing soccer. Don’t bother the kids. They are doing their homework. 2) Temporary situations: Martha and her husband are traveling around Europe for two weeks. Lisa is living with friends until she finds an apartment.
- 6. Grammar Structure: Here are some reminders about how to make the simple present and present progressive:
- 7. Simple Present: The most important thing to remember about this tense is . . . 3rd person singular (he, she, it) We say: I You We They
- 8. Simple Present: But for 3rd person singular, we say . . . He She It
- 9. Simple Present (Negative) To make negative tenses we use:
- 10. 1) Sara works on Sunday. Sara doesn’t work on Sunday. 2) They have a big house. They don’t have a big house. 3) Sam takes classes at night. Sam doesn’t take classes at night. 4) I have a lot of free time. I don’t have a lot of free time.
- 11. Present Progressive: Don’t forget that VERB BE is part of this structure. I AM You, We, They ARE He, She, It IS
- 12. Examples: Fabian is studying hard. They are celebrating their 40th anniversary today. I am cleaning my room right now.
- 13. Present Progressive (Negative) For this tense, simply ADD the word NOT after the verb BE. They are working today. They are NOT working today. She is taking a Math class. She is NOT taking a Math class.
- 14. Practice! Do these exercises with your class. Choose the simple present or present progressive and discuss why each is correct. 1. On Tuesdays, I ________ (go) to the gym. 2. Karen ________ (paint) her apartment right now. 3. This room ____ (be) very large. 4. He _________ (have) two dogs in his house. 5. It ________ (rain) really hard right now. 6. What is John doing? He _______ (work). 7. I ________ (study) for the test by the moment. 8. My family ________ (come) to San Diego every Saturday.
- 15. Answers! 1. On Tuesdays, I go to the gym. (habit) 2. Karen is painting her apartment right now. 3. This room is very large. (fact) 4. He has two dogs in his house. (permanent) 5. It is raining really hard right now. 6. What is John doing? He is working. 7. I am studying for the test by the moment. 8. My family comes to San Diego every Saturday. (habit)
