How do you know that you are doing discovery well? If you want to improve your discovery process, what outcomes help you track your progress? I get asked these questions often. I like that teams are trying to take an outcome-focused mindset to their discovery practice. The good news is setting discovery outcomes is no different from setting any other outcome.

While every business is always looking for great ideas and new products, it’s rarely a matter of ‘build it and they will come’. Product Managers know how important it is to test business ideas and new products before proceeding with a full scale launch. However, what is more difficult is knowing how to test, how long to test for and what to look out for when you test your business ideas.

When it comes to mobile, short surveys with specific asks (like feedback on a new feature) are effective and efficient. In addition to content, timing of surveys is critical.

There is no going back to “normal” for product teams. The idea of simply translating what we did in the office can’t be matched in our distributed world. At a minimum, I believe we need to start thinking remote-first. While we will eventually head back to our offices, we want to prepare ourselves to do it better next time. Even better is to embrace it going forward, perhaps with office/remote hybrids that take advantage of the benefits of both worlds.
