Research Analysis Framework

From user feedback to problem statements

How two years of user feedback was mapped against product promises, synthesised into problem statements, and fed into the annual survey, leading to an outcome-focused roadmap.

Product promise
1 Promise for insights
2 Promise for usability
3 Promise for data
Problem area
Design
Flexibility and efficiency of use
Both
Industry standards and flexibility and efficiency of use
Engineering
Error prevention and data accuracy
Pain points
Pain Points
  • Dashboard limited to three metrics at a time
  • Needed separate reports for a fuller picture
  • Build pattern inconsistent with rest of platform
  • No flexibility to view multiple groups together
Pain Points
  • Adding items one by one was slow and repetitive
  • No way to paste a list directly into the interface
  • Multi-step workaround required for basic task
  • Simple need deprioritised for years as not "shiny"
Pain Points
  • Most-used report missing expected functionality
  • Users switching to competitors to fill the gap
  • Feature gap eroding confidence in the platform
  • Repeatedly flagged but consistently passed over
Problem statement
Problem Statement
Users cannot get a meaningful view of performance on arrival without running multiple separate reports.
Problem Statement
Users who already know what they need cannot work the way they naturally would, creating unnecessary friction in every session.
Problem Statement
More accurate data to unlock new features and capabilities.
