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

Market Review and Outlook QE Index and Volume
The Qatar Exchange (QE) Index lost 490.46 points, or 4.85%,
during the week, to close at 9,619.04 points. Market capitalization
decreased by 4.36% to reach QR526.5 billion (bn) as compared to
QR550.5bn at the end of the previous week. Of the 42 listed
companies, 3 companies ended the week higher and 39 fell. Salam
International Investment Limited (SIIS) was the best performing stock
with a gain of 2.97%; the stock is down 1.42% year-to-date (YTD).
Qatari Investors Group (KHCD) was the top decliner, down 9.95%; the
stock is still up 21.96% YTD.
The GCC markets experienced relatively heightened volatility
and ended the week in red. Dubai‟s benchmark index (DFMGI) was
the worst performer, declining by 6.6% week-on-week (WoW). The
index is still the best performing index in the region, up 55.5% YTD.
The second worst performing market was Kuwait, declining by 5.8%
WoW. Other regional indices also declined in the range of 1.2% to
5.4%) during the week.
Regional geo-political tensions, coupled with concerns of US
Fed tapering off quantitative easing (QE), were the primary
culprits for the decline. Heightened regional tensions have
diminished investor appetite for risk causing them to lower their
equity exposures. Volatility also increased significantly with some
regional indices experiencing significant swings. Moreover, calls by
emerging markets stakeholders to reconsider the timing of the
tapering were rebuffed by the US Fed (given that its mandate only
involves the US economy). With limited near-term catalysts, we
expect the regional markets to increasingly focus on the impending
tapering, which along with rising regional tensions could lead to
further volatility going forward. Overall, investor sentiment concerning
regional markets is likely to remain weak in the near term.
Trading value during the week increased by 29.86% to reach
QR2.4bn vs. QR1.8bn in the prior week. The Banks & Financial
Services sector led the trading value during the week, accounting for
31.91% of the total equity trading value.
Trading volume increased by 16.38% to reach 56.2mn shares, as
against 48.3mn shares in the prior week. The number of
transactions rose by 25.15% to reach 27,429 transactions versus
21,917 transactions in the prior week. The Banks & Financial Services
sector led the trading volume, accounting for 27.24% of the total.
Foreign institutions remained bearish for the week with net selling
of QR173.8mn versus net selling QR6.9mn in the prior week. Non-
Qatari individuals were net sellers of QR42.8mn versus net selling
QR9.4mn in the prior week. Finally, local institutions were net buyers of
QR102.3mn versus QR99.8mn the week before.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF THE QE INDEX
Source: Bloomberg
The QE Index reversed from its bullish trend and witnessed heavy selling pressure throughout last week. The index fell around 491 points on the back of
large volumes. The index failed to make any further headway above the 10,150.0 level and was persistently setting lower lows until Wednesday. However,
the index rebounded from its lows of 9,331.34 and recovered by the end of the week, closing at its intraday high of 9,619.04 on Thursday. Despite this price
rebound, there are doubts on the sustainability of this higher move. Thus, accumulation is not recommended, until an additional bullish price confirmation
occurs; until then the current short-term trend looks bearish. The index faces an immediate resistance near the 9,670.0 level and it needs to breach this
level in order to change this bearish short-term trend. If the index manages to breach this level and stay above, it may advance toward the 9,700.0 and
9,800.0 levels. On the downside, the immediate support comes at the 55-day moving average (currently at 9,576.05). A breakdown below this support could
lead to a drop toward the 9,500.0 level. Meanwhile, the RSI stands at 41.78, indicating that the index may be oversold and is due for sideways or a higher
move. However, the MACD is relatively in a freefall mode without any reversal signs. Hence, these indicators signal a choppy market in the coming week.
DEFINITIONS OF KEY TERMS USED IN TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicator – RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. The RSI oscillates
between 0 to 100. The index is deemed to be overbought once the RSI approaches the 70 level, indicating that a correction is likely. On the other hand, if
the RSI approaches 30, it is an indication that the index may be getting oversold and therefore likely to bounce back.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator – The indicator consists of the MACD line and a signal line. The divergence or the
convergence of the MACD line with the signal line indicates the strength in the momentum during the uptrend or downtrend, as the case may be. When the
MACD crosses the signal line from below and trades above it, it gives a positive indication. The reverse is the situation for a bearish trend.
Candlestick chart – A candlestick chart is a price chart that displays the high, low, open, and close for a security. The „body‟ of the chart is portion between
the open and close price, while the high and low intraday movements form the „shadow‟. The candlestick may represent any time frame. We use a one-day
candlestick chart (every candlestick represents one trading day) in our analysis.
Doji candlestick pattern – A Doji candlestick is formed when a security's open and close are practically equal. The pattern indicates indecisiveness, and
based on preceding price actions and future confirmation, may indicate a bullish or bearish trend reversal.
Shooting Star/Inverted Hammer candlestick patterns – These candlestick patterns have a small real body (open price and close price are near to each
other), and a long upper shadow (large intraday movement on the upside). The Shooting Star is a bearish reversal pattern that forms after a rally. The
Inverted Hammer looks exactly like a Shooting Star, but forms after a downtrend. Inverted Hammers represent a potential bullish trend reversal.
