5 Different Research Interview Question Types
The questions that you ask in an interview can dramatically impact the insights that you glean from the interview. In this article we will go through five different question types and the quality of the responses that you will get from each one.
Ranking Continuous Research Methodologies
Not all research methods are equally suited for continuous research, where the focus is on trying to get high-quality signals as quickly and cheaply as possible. This article presents a framework for evaluating and ranking continuous research methodologies based on their effectiveness in understanding what users do, why they do it, and how flexible the method is for ongoing use.
Balancing Quick Decentralised Research with Deeper Market Research
Research isn't a one-size-fits-all activity. Teams building products need to understand customer needs and address immediate pain points while also keeping an eye on larger market trends and shifts. To tackle this dual challenge, companies need to deliver on both research levels.
Product Pushback: "Making Teams Autonomous is Too Hard and Expensive!"
In a recent workshop, when explaining how to ensure that product teams were autonomous, one of the attendees was sceptical. They felt the approach was theoretically sound but practically unrealistic. Let’s explore what autonomy requires, why it’s valuable, and how organisations can approach it.
Empowered Teams still need Annual Plans
Annual planning doesn't mean top-down locking-in of features that teams have to build. Instead, effective annual planning can provide crucial direction to teams while maintaining their autonomy on exactly what is to be built. This approach aligns long-term strategy with the power of empowered, product teams.
Crafting an Effective Product Strategy
Customers and employee expectations are changing faster than businesses can keep up. Empowering teams to solve customer problems directly frees up leadership time from the weeds of delivery but it risks mismatched expectations what leadership expect and what teams deliver. A clear product strategy, which includes the context behind decisions, reduces this risk.
