I spent probably too long trying to pick the perfect user segment.
Start by clarifying the scope and goals of the product, then segment travelers and identify key pain points. Prioritize a high-impact problem, brainstorm solutions, and define success metrics while considering trade-offs and risks.
Pro tip: Anchor your solution in a specific traveler segment and pain point, and explicitly tie your success metrics to Google's mission of organizing information and making it universally accessible. Show you can balance user needs with business viability.
Ask clarifying questions to understand the product's boundaries, target users, and business objectives. Define what 'help travelers' means and which airport processes to focus on.
Identify distinct traveler segments (e.g., business, leisure, families) and map their end-to-end journey to uncover pain points. Prioritize segments based on size, frequency, and intensity of pain.
Select one high-impact pain point and brainstorm potential solutions, considering Google's strengths (AI, data, ecosystem). Evaluate ideas on user value, feasibility, and strategic fit.
Outline a minimum viable product that addresses the core problem, and define success metrics (e.g., time saved, satisfaction). Consider go-to-market and potential partnerships.
Discuss potential challenges such as privacy, scalability, and competition. Show awareness of trade-offs and how you would mitigate risks.
