Problem

Scenario

You're evaluating a new feature in a product and need to determine whether it is addressing a genuine customer need or just adding surface-level functionality. The team wants a clear way to tell the difference before investing further.

Question

What would you look for to understand whether a feature is solving a real customer problem?

What This Tests

  • Ability to identify the underlying user need rather than the requested solution
  • Judgment about pain severity, workflow frequency, and segment importance
  • Use of customer research and behavioral evidence together
  • Ability to define success criteria that prove the problem was solved
