Discovery Approach

Problem Discovery:

  • •What problem exists?
  • •Who experiences it?
  • •How do they currently handle it?
  • •What's the impact if unsolved?
  • •Why solve it now?

Solution Exploration:

  • •What's the proposed solution?
  • •Who are the target users?
  • •What are the key capabilities?
  • •What makes this solution different?

Success Definition:

  • •How will we measure success?
  • •What are the key metrics?
  • •What does success look like?

Interview Techniques

Structured Frameworks:

  • •5 Whys - Root cause analysis
  • •Jobs-to-be-Done - User outcome focus
  • •SMART goals - Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound

Open-Ended Questions:

  • •"Tell me about..."
  • •"How do you currently...?"
  • •"What challenges do you face with...?"
  • •"Why is this important to you?"

Probing Follow-Ups:

  • •"Can you give me an example?"
  • •"What did you mean by...?"
  • •"How often does that happen?"
  • •"What would make that better?"

Avoid:

  • •Leading questions
  • •Yes/no questions
  • •Assuming solutions
  • •Skipping "why"

Notes for LLMs

  • •Reference helpers.md sections for all common operations
  • •Ask clarifying questions if user responses are vague
  • •Use structured frameworks (5 Whys, SMART, Jobs-to-be-Done)
  • •Validate outputs against business value
  • •Hand off to Product Manager when Phase 1 complete
  • •Update workflow status after completion
  • •Break down complex problems into components
  • •Document everything with precision
  • •Confirm understanding at each step
