I went in thinking the hard part was picking a clever product, but the measurement piece is where I got pressed.
Choose a well-known product you genuinely use and understand deeply, then frame each feature around a clear user problem and business opportunity. For each feature, define a primary success metric tied to user behavior, plus guardrail metrics, and outline a concrete experiment (e.g., A/B test) to validate impact.
Pro tip: Anchor every feature in a specific user pain point and connect it to a company-level goal (e.g., engagement, monetization) to show strategic thinking. When discussing measurement, mention both quantitative metrics and qualitative signals, and acknowledge potential trade-offs or risks.
Pick a product you know well (e.g., Google Maps) and briefly explain why it has untapped potential—e.g., underutilized user segments, emerging user needs, or new technology enablers.
For each of the three features, start by articulating a specific user pain point or unmet need, then describe the feature and how it solves that problem.
For each feature, specify a primary success metric (e.g., adoption rate, engagement frequency) and 1-2 guardrail metrics (e.g., retention, satisfaction) to ensure no negative side effects.
Outline a concrete A/B test or phased rollout: define the hypothesis, control/treatment groups, sample size considerations, and duration. Mention how you'd handle confounding factors.
Briefly prioritize the features based on impact and effort, and summarize how you'd iterate based on results. Tie back to overall product strategy.
