Day 92 - User Experience Problem Solving

If you want to understand a product's vision, you need to understand what problem the product is solving for, who is the product's user, what is their context, and how you plan to improve the user's experience.
  1. Frame the problem by understanding your user's needs, user's anxieties, and business goals.
  2. Dig deep and explore many solutions before narrowing the focus of the solution.
  3. Prioritize and create a specific plan of action with timelines that address the most important needs.
