Example Reflection – Learning Launch

Challenge

I’m a product owner usually start the project from early points where it is just an  idea. We work in implementing solution using IT capabilities. The process of the  generating ideas, selecting one which fits our customers’ needs, fits in our project  scope, fits with our economics and the idea which has a wow factor. We usually use  different tools like mind mapping through our brainstorming phases and use  visualization in visualizing the process which agreed on. But we at some point we  stop and asking which direction will success or will be more easy, fast and cheap to  achieve our target.

Selection

Learning lunch is a way to help in testing different options and select the most  suitable one base on the experiments’ results. So, we choosing learning launch tool  to apply in our case where we have a two or more choices and we don’t which one  we should choose.

Application

We start using learning launch by interviewing our stakeholders using prototypes  not by asking them survey questions. Thus, their answers were inspired by different  prototypes and get their opinions based on real experience. This way directs us on  choosing the right solution to complete on.

Insight

When asking stakeholders and customers about what solutions they want, most of  time their answers not be clear and consistent and sometimes directs us in the  wrong directions. But when they use real solutions they be more effective by giving  their opinions based on real experience.

Approach

Next time we will interviewing the stakeholders two times first one after selecting  the problem to test if is it a real problem and how they cope with it. Then go for our  brainstorming sessions to generate ideas and mind mapping it and after that think  about the processes the visualizing it, then choose the most appealing ideas to  prototype them. After getting good prototypes we interview the stakeholders by  letting them using our prototypes then giving us their real experience feedback.
