How do you prioritise features when developing a new product?

Question

Sawyer Wyatt · Accepted Answer

I think about what features will help us stand out from competitors. If a  feature can give us a unique advantage, it gets higher priority.

Liora Lyons · Answer

I like to  prioritize features that will have the biggest impact on the user experience. If something can make a big difference, it gets bumped up the list.

To start the product, we prioritize features that the management requests. The reason is, that they've researched the business landscape and have a deeper understanding of what's needed.

Once the product is launched, we listen to our customers and see what they want. We combine the management's experience with the customer's voice and prioritize.

Finally, when the product takes off, we look into the data. The data tells us what features and changes are most needed. Of course, even at this stage, we consider the management's experience and customers' voice.

Answer

Prioritizing features is all about balancing stakeholder input, user feedback, and data insights. Early on, def go with what management recommends based on their market research. Once launched, you gotta listen to your customers and see what they're asking for. Combine that with management's strategic vision. And as you scale, pour over that usage data to see where the biggest needs and opportunities are. But even then, keep management and customers in the loop. It's a constant balancing act!
