I froze for a second trying to decide whether to go broad (fans, athletes, coaches) or just pick a lane fast.
Start by clarifying the ambiguous prompt—define which sport, user segment, and platform (e.g., mobile, AR/VR) you'll focus on, then walk through a structured product design process: user needs, market landscape, solution ideation, prioritization, and a final recommendation with success metrics. Anchor your answer in Meta's strengths (social, AR/VR, AI) and show how your product leverages those assets to create differentiated value.
Pro tip: Pick a specific sport and user segment early (e.g., amateur runners or youth basketball) to avoid boiling the ocean, and tie your final recommendation to a clear Meta business objective like engagement, monetization, or ecosystem growth.
Ask clarifying questions to narrow the sports space (which sport, user segment, platform, and business goal). State your assumptions and choose a focused area to design for.
Map out the target user's pain points and jobs-to-be-done across the sports journey (e.g., finding teammates, improving skills, sharing highlights, watching live games). Prioritize the most underserved need.
Brainstorm 2-3 potential product concepts that address the prioritized need, and evaluate how each leverages Meta's unique assets (social graph, AR/VR, AI, messaging).
Use a framework (e.g., impact vs. effort, RICE) to select the best concept. Describe the MVP, key features, and how it fits Meta's ecosystem.
Outline success metrics (e.g., DAU, engagement, retention) and potential risks (privacy, moderation, adoption). Suggest next steps for validation.
