Let's face it, finding the right problem to solve isn't a cakewalk. Our team has talked to 80 product leaders and managers across the globe to understand if it actually is true. Tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Netflix also have failed in product discovery at some point in their journey. In scenarios like this is when Zeda.io comes in, a product discovery and strategy platform that helps product leaders identify problems to solve for customers.

Why is Product Discovery a Major Hurdle?

Regardless of your business's stage, product discovery is a huge stumbling block. Yet, you must check the product discovery process off your list before starting your business growth journey.

Product teams spend countless cycles discovering the real-life problem that needs to be solved. Throughout the product discovery and product development process, a myriad of product discovery questions may arise:

1. What is the problem you want to solve?
2. Does the problem you identified worth solving?
3. Does the business have the resources to build the solution?
4. Will the solution be valuable to potential customers?
5. What is the revenue impact of the solution?

Product discovery is all about finding answers to these product discovery questions. It involves finding the right problem to solve, uncovering opportunities for growth, validating your ideas, tackling usability risk and value risk, prioritizing the right feature idea, and measuring the business impact.

Embracing a Customer-Centric Approach

Over the years, the product development process has undergone significant changes. From Waterfall to Agile to Design Thinking to OKRs, product development processes have evolved through the years. 

In recent years, businesses have shifted toward more user-centered methodologies, emphasizing the need to build products that customers ‘want.' With the adaption towards more user-centered methods, we could see changes in product user experience. 

Even with an existing product that resonates with your target audience, you must keep refining the product to stay relevant. To achieve that, you must indulge in continuous product discovery to keep refining with the customers' ever-changing needs. 

An exemplary product discovery process will lead you to a product that strikes a fine balance between business value and customer value.  However, the product discovery process is more complex than it seems. 

Despite the thorough market, competitive, and customer research, some products fail due to customer unawareness or product teams’ incorrect calculations, leading to zero-value products. Therefore, gathering valuable customer insights, evaluating them collaboratively, and working toward creating a valuable product is essential. 

Zeda.io can be your ultimate tool for initiating your customer-centric product development journey! The following sections will explain how.

Define the Product Journey

Over time, businesses realized the importance of an outcome-based product development approach. This realization lured them toward fast learning methodologies emphasizing the importance of answering vital questions early in product development. 

Data has a significant impact on product discovery and outcome-based product development processes. It's crucial to use a variety of data sets for ongoing learning and improvement at each stage of product discovery because the process isn't linear. By incorporating customer feedback into your product, iterating continuously, and adapting as necessary, you can better meet your customer's needs and provide long-term value. 

However, here we may encounter a concern; the lack of access to quality data and analysis. Read on to learn how you can tackle this concern.
