What’s your process for validating a new feature before full development?

Question

Before committing resources to build a new feature, validating its demand is crucial. How do you ensure a feature is worth developing? Do you use prototypes, A/B testing, or gather feedback from a select group of users?

Quick mockup -> share with power users -> measure interest -> build MVP -> test with small user group.

AnnaHo · Answer

We create simple prototypes and share them with a small group of power users for feedback. This helps us validate the feature idea before investing in full development, ensuring it meets real user needs.

Quick wireframe in Figma - test internally with team - tweak based on feedback - build MVP in a day - beta test with engaged users - iterate fast based on data & feedback. Keeping validation cycles short!

Answer

Quick wireframes in Figma to test basic flow and UX -> prototype key interactions -> review with a few target users -> iterate based on feedback -> build MVP -> beta test with small group -> analyze usage data and user feedback -> prioritize updates for V1 release
