Product Discovery

产品发现

Core Principles

核心原则

  • Continuous Discovery — Weekly user conversations, not episodic research
  • Outcome-Driven — Start with outcomes to achieve, not solutions to build
  • Assumption Testing — Validate risky assumptions before committing resources
  • Co-Creation — Build with customers, not just for them
  • Data-Driven — Use evidence over intuition and stakeholder opinions
  • Problem-First — Deeply understand the problem space before ideating solutions

  • 持续发现 —— 每周与用户沟通,而非阶段性开展研究
  • 以结果为导向 —— 从要达成的结果入手,而非从要构建的解决方案入手
  • 假设验证 —— 在投入资源前先验证高风险假设
  • 共创 —— 与客户共同构建产品,而非仅为他们构建
  • 数据驱动 —— 基于证据而非直觉和利益相关者意见做决策
  • 先聚焦问题 —— 在构思解决方案前深入理解问题领域

Hard Rules (Must Follow)

硬性规则(必须遵守)

These rules are mandatory. Violating them means the skill is not working correctly.
这些规则为强制性要求。违反规则意味着该技能未正常发挥作用。

No Solution-First Thinking

禁止“先解决方案”思维

Never start with a solution. Always define the problem and outcome first.
markdown
❌ FORBIDDEN:
"We should build a search bar for the product page"
"Let's add AI recommendations"
"Users need a mobile app"

✅ REQUIRED:
"Problem: Users can't find products (40% exit rate on catalog)
Outcome: Reduce exit rate to 20%
Possible solutions:
1. Search bar with filters
2. AI-powered recommendations
3. Better category navigation
4. Visual product browsing"
绝对不要从解决方案入手。始终先定义问题和结果。
markdown
❌ 禁止:
"我们应该为产品页面添加搜索栏"
"我们来加入AI推荐功能"
"用户需要一款移动端应用"

✅ 要求:
"问题:用户无法找到产品(目录页退出率达40%)
结果:将退出率降至20%
可行解决方案:
1. 带筛选功能的搜索栏
2. AI驱动的推荐系统
3. 优化分类导航
4. 可视化产品浏览"

Evidence-Based Decisions

基于证据做决策

Never assume user needs without evidence from real user research.
markdown
❌ FORBIDDEN:
- "Users probably want X" (assumption without data)
- "Our competitor has X, so we need it too" (copycat without validation)
- "The CEO thinks we should build X" (HiPPO without evidence)
- "It's obvious users need X" (intuition without validation)

✅ REQUIRED:
- "5 out of 8 interviewed users mentioned X as a pain point"
- "Analytics show 60% of users abandon at step 3"
- "Prototype test: 7/10 users completed task successfully"
- "Survey (n=500): 45% rated feature as 'must have'"
绝对不要在没有真实用户研究证据的情况下假设用户需求。
markdown
❌ 禁止:
- "用户可能想要X"(无数据支撑的假设)
- "我们的竞品有X,所以我们也需要"(未经验证的模仿)
- "CEO认为我们应该做X"(无证据的权威决策)
- "显然用户需要X"(无验证的直觉判断)

✅ 要求:
- "8位受访用户中有5位提到X是痛点"
- "数据分析显示60%的用户在步骤3放弃操作"
- "原型测试:10位用户中有7位成功完成任务"
- "调研(样本量500):45%的用户将该功能评为‘必备’"

Minimum Interview Threshold

最低访谈阈值

Never validate a problem with fewer than 5 user interviews per segment.
markdown
❌ FORBIDDEN:
- "We talked to 2 users and they loved the idea"
- "One customer requested this feature"
- "Based on a quick chat with sales..."

✅ REQUIRED:
| Segment | Interviews | Key Finding |
|---------|------------|-------------|
| Power Users | 6 | 5/6 struggle with X |
| New Users | 5 | 4/5 drop off at onboarding |
| Churned | 5 | 3/5 cited missing feature Y |

Minimum per segment: 5 interviews
Confidence increases with more interviews
绝对不要用每个细分群体少于5次的用户访谈来验证问题。
markdown
❌ 禁止:
- "我们和2位用户聊过,他们都喜欢这个想法"
- "有一位客户要求添加这个功能"
- "基于与销售的快速沟通..."

✅ 要求:
| 细分群体 | 访谈次数 | 关键发现 |
|---------|------------|-------------|
| 核心用户 | 6 | 6位受访者中有5位在X方面存在困难 |
| 新用户 | 5 | 5位受访者中有4位在注册流程中流失 |
| 流失用户 | 5 | 5位受访者中有3位提到缺少功能Y |

每个细分群体最低访谈次数:5次
访谈次数越多,结论可信度越高

Falsifiable Assumptions

可证伪的假设

Every assumption must be testable and falsifiable with clear success criteria.
markdown
❌ FORBIDDEN:
- "Users will like the new design" (not falsifiable)
- "This will improve engagement" (no success criteria)
- "The feature will be useful" (vague)

✅ REQUIRED:
| Assumption | Test | Success Criteria | Result |
|------------|------|------------------|--------|
| Users will complete onboarding in new flow | Prototype test with 10 users | >70% completion | TBD |
| Users prefer visual search | A/B test | >10% lift in conversions | TBD |
| Price point is acceptable | Landing page test | >3% conversion | TBD |

每个假设都必须可测试、可证伪,并具备明确的成功标准。
markdown
❌ 禁止:
- "用户会喜欢新设计"(不可证伪)
- "这将提升用户参与度"(无成功标准)
- "该功能会很有用"(表述模糊)

✅ 要求:
| 假设 | 测试方式 | 成功标准 | 结果 |
|------------|------|------------------|--------|
| 用户能通过新流程完成注册 | 10位用户参与原型测试 | 完成率>70% | 待确定 |
| 用户偏好视觉搜索 | A/B测试 | 转化率提升>10% | 待确定 |
| 定价区间可接受 | 落地页测试 | 转化率>3% | 待确定 |

Preparation

准备阶段

  • Define research goals and hypotheses
  • Create interview guide (but stay flexible)
  • Recruit right participants (6-8 per segment)
  • Schedule 45-60 min sessions
  • 定义研究目标和假设
  • 制定访谈指南(但保持灵活性)
  • 招募合适的参与者(每个细分群体6-8人)
  • 安排45-60分钟的访谈

During Interview

访谈过程中

✓ Ask open-ended questions ("Tell me about...") ✓ Follow up with "Why?" 5 times to get to root cause ✓ Listen more than talk (80/20 rule) ✓ Ask about past behavior, not future hypotheticals ✓ Look for workarounds and pain points ✓ Record and take notes
✗ Don't ask leading questions ✗ Don't pitch your solution ✗ Don't ask "Would you use X?" (people lie) ✗ Don't multi-task while interviewing
✓ 提出开放式问题(“请告诉我关于...的情况”) ✓ 连续追问5次“为什么”以找到根本原因 ✓ 多听少说(80/20原则) ✓ 询问过去的行为,而非未来的假设 ✓ 关注用户的权宜之计和痛点 ✓ 录音并做笔记
✗ 不要提出诱导性问题 ✗ 不要推销你的解决方案 ✗ 不要问“你会使用X吗?”(用户可能会撒谎) ✗ 访谈时不要一心多用

Example Questions

示例问题

  • "Walk me through the last time you [did task]"
  • "What's most frustrating about [current solution]?"
  • "How are you solving this problem today?"
  • "What would make [task] easier for you?"
  • "Tell me more about that..."
undefined
  • “请告诉我你最近一次[完成某任务]的全过程”
  • “[当前解决方案]最让你头疼的是什么?”
  • 你现在是如何解决这个问题的?”
  • “什么能让[该任务]对你来说更简单?”
  • “请再详细说说这一点...”

When to Survey

何时开展调研

✓ Validate findings from qualitative research ✓ Measure satisfaction or sentiment at scale ✓ Prioritize features (Kano surveys) ✓ Segment users by behavior/needs
✓ 验证定性研究的发现 ✓ 大规模衡量满意度或情绪 ✓ 功能优先级排序(Kano调研) ✓ 按行为/需求细分用户

Survey Design

调研设计

  • Keep it short (<10 min to complete)
  • One question per screen on mobile
  • Mix question types (multiple choice, scale, open-ended)
  • Avoid leading or biased questions
  • Test survey with 5 people before sending
  • 保持简短(完成时间<10分钟)
  • 移动端每页一个问题
  • 混合问题类型(选择题、量表题、开放式问题)
  • 避免诱导性或有偏见的问题
  • 发送前先让5人测试调研内容

Question Types

问题类型

  • Multiple choice → Segmentation, categorization
  • Likert scale (1-5) → Satisfaction, importance
  • Open-ended → Qualitative insights
  • Ranking → Prioritization
  • NPS (0-10) → Loyalty measurement
  • 选择题 → 细分、分类
  • 李克特量表(1-5分) → 满意度、重要性
  • 开放式问题 → 定性洞察
  • 排序题 → 优先级排序
  • NPS(0-10分) → 忠诚度衡量

Distribution

分发渠道

  • In-app surveys (high response, biased to engaged users)
  • Email surveys (broader reach, lower response)
  • Incentivize thoughtful responses ($10 gift card, early access)
  • Follow up with interviews for interesting responses

---
  • 应用内调研(响应率高,但样本偏向活跃用户)

How to Build One

构建步骤

markdown
undefined
markdown
undefined

Step 1: Define Outcome

步骤1:定义结果

Start with measurable business outcome Example: "Increase Day 30 retention from 20% to 30%"
从可衡量的业务目标入手 示例:“将30天留存率从20%提升至30%”

Step 2: Map Opportunities

步骤2:映射机会

Discover customer needs/pain points through research Example: "Users don't understand core features"
通过研究挖掘客户需求/痛点 示例:“用户不理解核心功能”

Step 3: Generate Solutions

Common Anti-Patterns

常见反模式

What NOT to Do

切勿做这些事

markdown
undefined
markdown
undefined

✗ Solution-First Discovery

✗ 先解决方案再发现

Starting with "We should build X" then finding evidence to support it → Instead: Start with outcome and problem, explore multiple solutions
从“我们应该构建X”入手,再寻找证据支撑 → 正确做法:从结果和问题入手,探索多个解决方案

✗ Episodic Research

✗ 阶段性研究

Doing discovery as a phase, then stopping when development starts → Instead: Continuous weekly discovery throughout product lifecycle
仅在某个阶段开展发现,开发启动后就停止 → 正确做法:在产品全生命周期内持续开展每周发现

✗ Confirmation Bias

✗ 确认偏差

Only talking to users who will validate your ideas → Instead: Seek disconfirming evidence, talk to churned users
仅与会验证你想法的用户沟通 → 正确做法:寻找反驳证据,与流失用户沟通

✗ Fake Validation

✗ 虚假验证

Asking "Would you use this?" and trusting the answer → Instead: Test with realistic prototypes, measure actual behavior
问“你会使用这个吗?”并相信答案 → 正确做法:用真实原型测试,衡量实际行为

✗ Analysis Paralysis

✗ 分析瘫痪

Endless research without ever shipping → Instead: Define upfront what evidence is "enough" to move forward
无休止研究却从不落地 → 正确做法:提前定义“足够”的证据标准,达到后推进

✗ Building for Everyone

✗ 面向所有人构建

Trying to solve for all users at once → Instead: Focus on specific segment, nail it, then expand
试图同时解决所有用户的问题 → 正确做法:聚焦特定细分群体,做透后再扩展

✗ Ignoring Weak Signals

✗ 忽略弱信号

Dismissing early negative feedback as "just a few users" → Instead: Treat complaints as early warning signs, investigate

---
将早期负面反馈视为“只是个别用户的问题”而忽略 → 正确做法:将投诉视为早期预警信号,开展调查

---
