Process

From interview snapshots to an opportunity solution tree

How weekly interviews turn into a shared map of customer needs

Process showing how interview snapshots feed an opportunity solution tree, from a story-based interview to choosing which opportunity to pursue
Snapshots turn weekly interviews into a tree the whole team can reason about Source: Teresa Torres, Continuous Discovery Habits

A five-step process for continuous discovery: run a story-based interview, fill in an interview snapshot the same day, keep a snapshot library, review across snapshots every couple of weeks, and add the opportunities that matter to your opportunity solution tree. It follows the approach Teresa Torres describes in Continuous Discovery Habits. Koji can run the interviews on an ongoing basis and give a per-interview summary to start each snapshot from.

Where this appears

What's in this process

  1. Run a story-based interview: Ask about a real, specific past event: tell me about the last time you...
  2. Fill in the snapshot the same day: Ten minutes as a team, starting with the experience map.
  3. Build a snapshot library: File every snapshot in one place with consistent quick facts.
  4. Review across snapshots: Every couple of weeks, look for opportunities that keep coming up.
  5. Update the tree: Add the opportunities that matter for your outcome, grouped under parents.
