I went straight to user segmentation first, which in hindsight was the right call but I spent too long on it and rushed the actual feature prioritization.
Start by clarifying the goal and scope of the investment app, then segment users and prioritize a target segment. Define the core value proposition, outline key features, and discuss monetization and success metrics, ensuring alignment with Meta's strengths in social and data.
Pro tip: Anchor your design in a specific user need and show how Meta's social graph and data can create a differentiated experience, such as social investing or personalized insights. Avoid generic features; instead, focus on how the app drives engagement and monetization.
Ask clarifying questions to understand the app's purpose, target market, and constraints. Define whether it's for beginners or advanced investors, and if it's standalone or integrated with Meta's platforms.
Identify potential user segments (e.g., novice investors, social traders) and prioritize one based on market size, unmet needs, and strategic fit. Justify your choice.
Articulate the core value proposition for the target segment. Outline key features that deliver this value, such as social sharing, educational content, or automated investing.
Propose monetization strategies (e.g., premium subscriptions, transaction fees, affiliate partnerships) and define success metrics (e.g., DAU, retention, revenue per user).
Prioritize features using a framework like RICE or MoSCoW, and outline a phased roadmap from MVP to full launch, considering technical and regulatory constraints.
