Customer Interviews

By , Editor · · What’s Next

You're making decisions about what to build next. The data says one thing. The team believes another. Nobody's spoken to an actual customer in weeks.

Customer interviews are Steve Blank's Customer Development technique. You have direct conversations with customers or potential customers, exploring their needs, behaviours, and contexts — asking about specific past actions rather than hypothetical futures.

A five-step numbered flow (01 pick, 02 schedule, 03 last, 04 workarounds, 05 aggregate) feeding five quote cards from named customers (Sara/Ops, Marcus/PM, Priya/Finance, Devon/Sales, Annika/Analyst), converging on a WORKAROUNDS callout reading "what the dashboard cannot see."
