Heard of a Query Map? Neither did I until recently.
I use an app called UX Assist quite a bit and came across this framework which is pretty nifty!
A Query Map is a framework that structures your questions you could ask when starting a new project. .
HERE IS SOME EXAMPLE QUESTIONS
Business Questions
- Why is this product / feature important to the business?
- What elevator pitch do we want to tell?
- What is the value proposition?
- Who are your competitors?
- Will the product expand to other industries?
- How will we measure success?
User Questions
- Who are our users? (According to the stakeholders)
- What are their goals / tasks / jobs?
- Why will they use this product / feature?
- What do we already know about the users?
- How can we know more about the users?
- How will this product / feature help them?
Technology Questions
- How can technology enable the solution?
- What are the technology constraints?
- Are there legacy issues?
- How long will this take to build? - How will we ensure security and data privacy?
Team Questions
- Who will be working on this solution?
- Do we need to transfer knowledge?
- Has anybody worked on this before?
- Do we need to hire?
- What skills do we need?
These questions can be answered at various stages of the product lifecycle and can help you in taking design decisions. .
So what are your thoughts on this framework? I will keep you all posted as I experiment with it. .
