Product Discovery

Product Discovery covers the research activities carried out before building a feature, to check that it is desirable for users, viable for the business and technically feasible.

Why it matters

Without discovery, product teams build based on intuition or isolated requests, with a high risk of shipping features that go unused.

Concrete example

Before writing any code, a product team runs ten user interviews to validate that an identified need is genuinely a priority.
