What is discovery ? (5min)

Product discovery is a decision-making process. Good product discovery includes the customer throughout that process.

Teresa Torres

Discovery is about acknowledging that you don’t know what you don’t know. It’s a mindset that encourages you to question assumptions, involve customers in every step, and explore new opportunities to build better products.

What is Continuous Discovery? (5min)

At the heart of continuous discovery is the Opportunity Solution Tree (OST), a tool Teresa proposes for exploring and organizing discovery efforts.

The process starts with a business goal. From there:

Identify opportunities—these are unmet needs or pain points your customers experience within the context of that goal.
Explore solutions—potential ideas to address those opportunities.
Link solutions to outcomes—using measurable KPIs to track their success (or failure).
