User Feedback – How does it really work? We hear it and say it frequently: the user feedback loop is critical for real success in product development. In fact it is one of the differentiators when organizations start to move from a sequential lifecycle like waterfall to agile delivery. We know it is vital to help us make more money or cut expenses, and to stay relevant in the marketplace. But how exactly does it work and why is it so important for your clients and your business?
Join us this evening as we discuss various ways to collect user feedback and integrate it into your product development. As always, there will be an interactive exercise around using focus groups and collecting user feedback to identify Epics and Features for the future. You’ll learn how collecting and analyzing customer feedback is important to get to know your customers better, increase their engagement and loyalty, and acquire new customers.
