What is product discovery?
Product discovery is the compass navigating company through the intricate terrain of user needs and market demands.
At its core lies design thinking, a human-centric approach ensuring solutions resonate with users. Through user interviews, teams glean invaluable insights, uncovering pain points and desires, shaping product direction. Goal setting establishes clear objectives, aligning efforts towards meaningful outcomes. User personas breathe life into data, personifying target audiences, fostering empathy and understanding. Setting appropriate product metrics quantifies progress, providing tangible markers of success and avenues for iteration.
Together, these elements form a cohesive framework, driving innovation and fostering sustainable growth. In the dynamic landscape of product development, robust discovery practices not only ensure relevance but also empower teams to create impactful solutions that resonate deeply with users.

Learning outcomes
What is the Design Thinking and Product Discovery and when to use it
Understanding Design Thinking involves grasping a human-centered approach to problem-solving. It emphasizes empathy, creativity, and iteration to develop innovative solutions that address users’ needs effectively. Product Discovery, on the other hand, focuses on identifying and validating ideas for new products or features through experimentation and feedback gathering. It’s used to ensure that products meet market demands and user expectations. Participants will learn to articulate these concepts to others, emphasizing their benefits such as fostering innovation, improving user satisfaction, and reducing the risk of developing products that don’t resonate with users. These approaches are best utilized when a company wants to create products that truly solve user problems, innovate in a competitive market, or when faced with uncertainties about which direction to take with a product.
Knowledge of techniques used in the Product Discovery
This learning outcome involves gaining familiarity with various techniques used in Product Discovery. These techniques may include methods for ideation, user research, prototyping, user testing, and validation. Participants will receive detailed tutorials and engage in exercises using real-life examples to understand how each technique works and how it contributes to the overall Product Discovery process. By mastering these techniques, participants will be equipped with the tools needed to effectively identify, prioritize, and validate product ideas.
Ability to implement Product Discovery techniques
Once participants have acquired knowledge of Product Discovery techniques, they will apply them in a simulated environment. Through a real-life use case scenario, participants will practice each technique, from ideation to validation, on an imaginary yet realistic product challenge. This hands-on experience allows participants to gain practical skills in applying Product Discovery methods, understanding how to adapt them to different situations, and learning how to extract maximum value for both the product and its users. By the end of this training, participants will feel confident in their ability to implement Product Discovery techniques within their own organizations, ensuring that their products are well-aligned with user needs and market demands.
