Question bank

Interview questions before quarterly planning

Eight questions for a planning evidence sprint

Question bank of eight interview questions for a quarterly planning evidence sprint, grouped into past behaviour, priorities, and cost and consequence.
Eight questions you can reuse for any three bets.

Eight customer interview questions that product managers can run before quarterly planning to test three roadmap bets. They ask about past behaviour, priorities and consequence instead of asking whether someone would use a feature. Swap in your own job and problems, then run them as AI-moderated interviews in Koji.

Past behaviour

  1. Tell me about the last time [job] didn't go the way you wanted.
  2. What have you tried to fix it? What happened?
  3. How do you handle [problem A] today?

Priorities

  2. Rank these by how much they cost you right now.

Cost and consequence

  1. How much does [problem A] get in the way of your goals this quarter?
