We're all different. For some people, coming up with new ideas (products) is a system. For others - inspiration.
Let's share the experience 👀

Hi Sveta, good question, and I think discussions with users should be the key to lean (on).
Prospects are very good at pointing out future features, yet existing clients (and the team, ofc) should be deciding what to prioritise based on the value proposition of your product.
As a PM, this always brings new features to my focus. So many of them actually, that we internally refer to the "myth of the missing feature" as we are always one more feature away from the product being ready for a public launch.
@ionelvlad it usually happens with software since I'm a software dev, but from time to time I get hardware ideas too (but I don't pursue them since they're too much overhead)
Hi! I find talking to customers directly very insightful. Of course, there are different customers, but this is a great feedback channel if you know who your ICP is and whom to talk to.
Also using your own product on a daily basis is also helpful :)
@valerii_androshchuk Yes, customers are a great source for innovation. Their problem should be base of our innovation. Moreover, I find new ideas randomly like while walking in my locality or garden, etc.
Sometimes everything is in the front of your eyes but you cannot just see, I believe!
I get product ideas from:
- Customer Feedback: Listening to them or via surveys
- Product Analytics: Using tools like hotjar to check heatmaps
- Market Research: To understand the trends and user behavior
- Competition: See what they are doing and how to improve
Our ideas come from our community:
1. Our community suggests features
2. We consolidate the suggestions into votable options
3. We prioritize the most requested features and plan them quarterly
Here's our roadmap: https://www.formaloo.com/en/road...

@merno0sh exactly this - community drives innovation, curation is then required as well as prioritization based on technical feasibility, time constraints and user recommendation

As a starting point, identifying the problem areas for customers is a good way to zero in on the features you want to change or replace alltogether.
And if everything is amazing with your product (which is never really their case):
Just Google, "Latest consumer technology" and you will find a goldmine of ideas to inspire yours.

I think you can brainstorming sessions with your product development and sales team can help you in coming up with creative and unique product ideas. Creative, interesting and original ideas should be considered even if they require a lot of hard work. After the brainstorming session, analyze the ideas generated and plan further on the ones that are workable.

@witt_teo Totally agree with you! In my experience, I normally come up with good ideas while brainstorming with others.

we as humans always have ideas to solve problems and run things in their own way to make things simple and work easly...to make it possible by understanding such requirements will always enables to introduce new features.

Here are some insightful ways to develop ideas for a new product!
1. Study the Changing Market Trends
2. Brainstorm with Your Development and Sales Team
3. Get the Opinion of Your Customers
Report
@gabriella_parch Do you think getting opinions from customers sometimes is quite general? As I know customers normally don't really understand what they really need, I mean their true pain points/insights.
Analyse the feedbacks. Just try to identify problems and come up with solutions through features/ products.
You can also brainstorm with your teammates/ friends/ colleagues.
