Conventionally, teams undertake product discovery at the start of building a new product, or as part of big, standalone projects. This is usually a way to validate the team’s assumptions and decisions, rather than a way to discover where product development ought to start from. Many of us are still stuck in a project world. We research to kick off a project, we usability test right before we hand it off to engineers, and our primary means for experimenting is A/B testing.

These methods are better than nothing, but the best product teams are shifting from a project mindset to a continuous mindset.

Continuous product discovery aims to shift research into a customer-driven process, where product design teams work with customers to co-create their products. This involves breaking down user research into small, more frequent activities that product teams can undertake regularly.

To help you understand why your team should transition to continuous discovery, the Interaction Design Foundation is hosting a Live Master Class with Product Discovery Coach Teresa Torres. Join us on Wednesday, 9 June 2021 at 5 PM UTC to learn how you can take advantage of Continuous Discovery to design better experiences for your users.
