Customer expectations are ever evolving. Your product experience needs to keep pace. That means validating and iterating on your instincts and ideas with data. That might require extra thought, but the right tools will ensure your shipping velocity remains the same— and the loyalty you earn will be well worth the effort.
- Embrace both qualitative and quantitative feedback. Complement qualitative feedback, such as NPS, with quantitative feedback, such as real-time data. Using both models will help you better understand why customers are satisfied, or not, with their experience and how to improve it.
- Tackle experimentation and iteration. Spend the time, effort, and resources to implement a program. Experimentation allows you to de-risk the development of large features by testing smaller components and determining how to iterate so you are positively impacting customer engagement. It’s no small undertaking, but doing it—and doing it right—will set you up for success for years to come. You just need the right tools.
