Product Discovery

Activities that determine what to build by validating that solutions are valuable, usable, feasible, and viable before full delivery.

Definition

Marty Cagan's four product risks guide discovery; techniques include interviews, prototypes, experiments, and assumption testing. Continuous discovery runs alongside delivery (dual-track agile).

Example

A team tests a fake-door button to gauge demand before building a feature.

Exam tip

Discovery reduces risk of building the wrong thing.
