I spent way too long trying to pick the 'right' device in my head instead of just picking one and committing.
Start by clarifying the device and user segment, then define key user problems and company goals. Brainstorm features, prioritize using a framework like RICE or impact/effort, and recommend three with clear rationale tied to user value and business impact.
Pro tip: Anchor your recommendations in a specific user persona and a measurable success metric for each feature to show you think like an owner, not just an ideator.
Ask clarifying questions to define the device (e.g., smart speaker, thermostat), target user, and company objectives. This ensures your recommendations are relevant and aligned.
Map out the user journey and highlight top frustrations or unmet needs. This grounds your features in real problems.
Generate a list of potential features, then prioritize using a framework like RICE (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort) or impact/effort matrix. Select the top three.
For each chosen feature, explain what it is, why it matters (user value and business impact), and how you would measure success.
Recap how the three features together address key user needs and support company goals, and suggest next steps for validation.
