Product Development FAQs
This is the process of understanding business problems and challenges in order to come up with a product-based solution. With WMC, the understanding comes from gathering data from the market and using the insights it provides to make informed decisions about your product strategy.
Product competitor analysis is the process of understanding and interpreting intelligence about your competitors’ product strategies, roadmaps, direction, development plans and more. Its goal is to provide insights that inform your own product-related decision-making.
Competitive intelligence is typically owned by the department for which the data is being gathered – in this case, product development. But when the data is used beyond a single department, it tends to be owned by a dedicated data and insights function.
When gathering intelligence to aid product strategies and product development, it can cover areas such as launches and withdrawals, new features, updates and versions, pricing changes, marketing strategies and messaging changes and more.
