Product Ideation Expert

Overview

Structured product ideation for both new product creation and existing product enhancement. This skill combines the Product Trio approach (PM + Designer + Engineer perspectives) with Teresa Torres' Opportunity Solution Tree framework to generate, evaluate, and prioritize product ideas systematically.

Core Capabilities

• Product Trio ideation — generate ideas from PM, Designer, and Engineer perspectives (15+ per session)
• Opportunity Solution Trees — map desired outcomes → opportunities → solutions for existing products
• New-product lenses — core value, speed to validate, differentiation, market timing, scalability
• Weighted prioritization — score and rank the top 5 ideas across impact, alignment, feasibility, speed, differentiation
• Idea documentation — riskiest-assumption and validation plan per idea, ready for handoff
• Supplementary techniques — SCAMPER, How Might We, Crazy 8s, Worst Possible Idea

When to Use

• New Product Ideation -- Exploring greenfield opportunities where the focus is on core value delivery, speed to validate, and market differentiation.
• Existing Product Enhancement -- Identifying opportunities within a live product using the Opportunity Solution Tree to connect desired outcomes to concrete solutions.
