Value Discovery Session
Value discovery helps teams understand what creates value for customers. It moves beyond feature lists. This exercise forces teams to think beyond "what we could build" to "what would make customers' lives measurably better." It's the foundation for building products customers will pay for.

Ground the discussion in customer evidence, not assumptions. Push teams past feature thinking to outcome thinking. Use "So what?" to get to real value. Frame value from the customer perspective, not the company's. A common pitfall is confusing features with value. Ensure experiments are designed to validate value hypotheses. Look for the team to articulate value in the customer's language. Sometimes, teams struggle to move beyond what they think is valuable. Be patient and redirect.
