✨ New Feature Alert! ✨ We’re thrilled to announce a new feature designed to reduce cognitive overload by providing quick content previews for text and media tags! Now, when you hover over a tag icon, a small preview will pop up, giving you a sneak peek of what's inside. This enhancement, based on your feedback, makes it easier to access info at a glance, encouraging deeper exploration. We’re confident it’ll improve the overall viewing experience for your projects! 👀 #NewFeature #UserExperience #ExcitingUpdate

34 Years of Mind Mapping: From Scraps to Software (and Back Again?) Remember those rebellious hand-drawn mind maps thumbing your nose at the "no visuals" rule in school? Me too! That spirit fueled my 34-year journey, from sprawling college maps on giant paper to the digital organization of Mindman and MindManager in the 90s. iThoughts became my recent go-to, but its farewell in January left me softwareless. Yet, the fire of visual thinking burns bright. Now, I'm embracing a new platform, Notion, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer for managing hundreds of mind maps. Check out my 490 Ithoughts map collection https://lnkd.in/dip55nzW If anyone has any ideas as to what I could replace iThoughts with in the future when it inevitably stops working because of the way operating systems evolve please leave a recommendation below.

#LeanUXmas Day 14: “Using Research Ops to ignite your Continuous Discovery Practice” by Julian Della Mattia https://lnkd.in/eWMrzjUT “To drive effective Continuous Discovery and ignite the engine of product discovery, organizations need the right infrastructure. That’s why they should invest in Research Ops. By crafting a scalable participant sourcing process, helping minimize bias in interviews, triangulating insights, recording and preserving knowledge, and fostering continuous ideation, businesses can make the most our of a Continuous Discovery practice.”

Every day we make a million little decisions without ever giving it a second thought. This is because our brains are wired to take shortcuts and make quick decisions. These shortcuts are known as heuristics. This week on Drive and Convert, Jon dives into heuristics in relation to digital experience optimization. When applied correctly, these heuristics can lead to a better digital journey with a smooth path to purchase for users. Check out the full episode https://hubs.la/Q02JtTV60

Check this out tomorrow if you have questions about creating product visiontypes. This is a follow-up to our webinar last year with Audrey Crane and Marty Cagan with design leaders on our team who are experts at leading these types of engagement. #productvision #innovation

Tuesday Term: mind maps - Mind maps provide a structured way to capture and organize ideas and information. They help users understand concepts by breaking them down into component parts. The technique is used to develop new ideas or to break down and better understand existing information. #mindmaps #brainstorming #information

Week 2 of my video series on Bridging Intention to Impact! This week I cover why the assumption that usage equate to a successful product leaves many teams astray. Instead product teams should focus on how their features are changing specific behaviors that lead to a positive impact on user outcomes. I share a news media case study that I explore in the book to illustrate the different outcomes that companies faced based on whether they focused just on usage or outcomes overall. #booklaunch #metrics #productdevelopment #product #videoseries

🔍The Art Of Product Discovery🔍 Understanding the true art of product discovery involves deeply exploring customer needs, market gaps, and innovative solutions to create products that truly resonate. Product discovery is key to successful product management. Key steps include: 👥🔍Understanding Users: Conduct interviews, surveys, and usability tests to uncover deep insights into user behaviors, pain points, and desires. 📊📌Prioritizing Pain Points: Evaluate and focus on the most impactful issues that are critical to your target audience. 💡🔬Exploring Solutions: Brainstorm potential solutions, create low-fidelity prototypes, and conduct A/B testing to quickly gauge viability. 🏅🔝Prioritizing Solutions: Use frameworks like RICE (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort) to invest in the most effective and feasible solutions. This process reduces risks, boosts efficiency, and enhances user satisfaction.🚀 🌟For more insights, check out my latest blog post!
