I went straight to user segmentation and started listing features, which in retrospect was probably the wrong entry point.
Start by clarifying the goal and scope of the music streaming service within Facebook's ecosystem, then segment users and identify their needs. Propose a high-level product vision and key features, and finally discuss how you would measure success and iterate.
Pro tip: Emphasize how the service leverages Facebook's unique social graph and existing user data to create differentiated experiences, rather than just replicating existing music streaming apps.
Ask clarifying questions to understand the objective: Is this a standalone app or integrated into Facebook? What platforms? What are the key success metrics? This ensures alignment with interviewer expectations.
Identify target user segments (e.g., casual listeners, music enthusiasts, social sharers) and their pain points. Consider how Facebook's social features can address these needs uniquely.
Propose a clear vision (e.g., 'social music discovery') and outline core features such as personalized recommendations, social sharing, collaborative playlists, and integration with Facebook events and stories.
Prioritize features based on impact and feasibility, and define a minimum viable product (MVP) to test with users. Discuss trade-offs and potential risks.
Define key metrics (e.g., daily active users, listening time, shares) and a plan for iterating based on user feedback and data.
