I went straight into features and probably spent too long on the gift-giver experience before even nailing down who the primary user was.
Start by clarifying the scope and goals of the wedding registry product, then segment users and identify their key pain points. Structure your answer around a customer-centric solution that leverages Amazon's strengths, and discuss trade-offs and success metrics.
Pro tip: Emphasize how the product can create a flywheel effect by integrating with Amazon's ecosystem (e.g., Alexa, Prime, Amazon Home Services) to increase customer lifetime value and differentiate from competitors like Zola and The Knot.
Ask clarifying questions to understand the product's goals, target users, and constraints. Define what success looks like for Amazon.
Identify primary user segments (e.g., engaged couples, gift-givers) and their needs, frustrations with existing registries, and desired outcomes.
Brainstorm features that address pain points, such as universal registry, group gifting, cash funds, and seamless integration with Amazon's platform.
Prioritize features based on impact and effort, and discuss trade-offs (e.g., build vs. buy, scope vs. speed).
Define success metrics (e.g., adoption rate, average gift value) and outline a go-to-market strategy leveraging Amazon's channels.
