How To Use Product Discovery To Accelerate Growth with Jim Morris, Product Discovery Group

On this episode, host Lloyed Lobo of Boast.AI welcomes Jim Morris, the Founder of Product Discovery Group.

 

There's no point in creating something that no one wants, yet so many teams skip the product discovery process.

 

Even the most efficient process can’t make a bad idea good. Building untested ideas is risky and can cause lost time, wasted money, and low morale.

 

Jim presents concrete techniques you can start using immediately to weed out bad ideas and focus on the good ones.

 

Specifically, Jim will cover:

 

9:11 - Tailoring your roadmap to fit customer needs

13:56 - How to bring the discovery process to the forefront

15:10 - How to get your team to contribute to the product discovery process

21:46 - Defining success metrics

32:03- Best practices for designing experiments

37:50 - Where are your users?

43:13 - Velocity over perfection

46:50 - Addressing customers who want very specific features

51:03 - How many interviews are enough?

51:12 - The recommended framework for product prioritization when it comes to features

1:02:20 - How to onboard potential customers for discovery interviews
