Problem
What need are you trying to solve? Why is it important to our users and our business? What insights lead you to believe this is a problem?
Problem overview
After signing up for our product, users don’t have an easy way to find resources that grow their knowledge of using our platform. This leads to eventual frustration and churn within 30 days of sign up.
Target audience
Our target audience for these improvements are product managers.
Secondary audiences include operations roles.
Evidence
Product X fails to effectively retain users, 30 days post signup
Solution
How are you solving this problem? Help the team imagine the possibilities and sense the scope.
Our hypothesis is that our existing onboarding flow does not educate users on the capabilities of Product X, which leads to a lack of investment in the first 30 days and eventual churn.
We’ll solve this by incorporating programmatic product walk-thrus, surfacing product-led education resources, and introducing human-led support at the right moment. The below diagram overviews what this may look like.
