This page defines the problem domain that we aim to address. It outlines the challenges that our final product is designed to solve and verifies whether these problems truly exist in the market and cause significant pain to the target audience. Problem Discovery is the phase where we identify and validate these problems. Key Steps in Problem Discovery Problem Identification and Hypothesis Formation Persona Definition Problem Hypothesis Validation Problem Hypothesis We have formulated the following hypothesis based on our observations of many software development teams: ...
This page defines the solutions we aim to implement for the problems we have identified. It covers the root causes of the problems, the desired outcomes for our product, the proposed solutions, and what we should focus on in the MVP phase. Problem-Solution Fit is the phase where we analyze the causes of the problem and define potential solutions. Key Steps in Problem-Solution Fit Problem Clarification Problem Structure and Root Cause Analysis Defining Desired Outcomes Defining Solution Criteria Solution Proposals MVP Design Problem and Solution Validation Problem Clarification Based on our findings from the Problem Discovery phase, we have defined the primary problem as follows: ...
