Research case study 010 / 200

Product value that's hard to explain internally

Design, engineering and marketing each describe the product differently, making a shared view hard to reach.

Research direction: Product definition and needs researchProblem identification → Design validation → Implementation

Three-step solution method

  1. Build a shared narrative around target users, key tasks and outcomes.
  2. Link design features to functional value to create evidence-based value statements.
  3. Conduct internal reviews with concept prototypes, document disagreements and return to requirement evidence.

Key Deliverables

  • Product value map
  • Feature description matrix
  • Consensus review notes

Verification Approach

Verify alignment across teams on intended use and design decisions.

Translating research into products and services
