How do you come up with ideas for new features (products)?

Hi,this is a good topic. For me, I always observe the problems I encountered in my life. If I encounter this problem, others will experience it too. Is there a product that can solve this problem? Then I will search and will see lots of related ideas.

A good deal of it goes to being customer-focused and also mission. The trick is to find a systematic way to: Understand customer needs -> develop solutions/execute -> iterate and get customer feedback It’s simple to state it but actually very difficult to implement. Startups who succeed tend to have figured this system out and use it robustly

Three ways: 1. Extensively read about the market + competitors -> Helps you get hygiene elements in your products / features in place 2. Speak to your customers -> open ended discussions help 3. Look at data -> usually where your users are failing on the UI can help you build experiments / fill the gaps.

Can be got ideas from customer feedback, every customer has different ideas so it is very helpful for getting great ideas. And market analysis is another way to get good ideas. And competitor analytics always watch what they doing.

The best way to come up with new feature ideas is by listening to your customers and scheduling calls with them or conducting surveys to get feedback about what's working out for them or not. Assuming they would get the most out of a new feature you have in mind without talking to them can be a great waste of time, as it may not be something they need at the time. They always have the greatest feature ideas, and it has worked great for us so far!

What a wonderful question, I always used to find the gaps between Audience and any activities they need to do - Monetize that. What's yours ?

continues user engagement for their complete satisfaction and their feedback is something to look forward for new idea features and better versions of product.

-> Talking to users help in understanding the missing areas where they are lagging behind and what would they like. -> Having public roadmap helps in getting ideas and support from users across different segments and businesses.
