What Is an Opportunity Solution Tree?
The opportunity solution tree is a concept developed by Teresa Torres to help product teams map out opportunities to solutions, to achieve a desired outcome.
How to Use an Opportunity Solution Tree with Creately?
- Define discovery or a measurable outcome. You need to figure out your goals and the outcomes that you want to achieve within a specific time frame. The key here is to remember that the outcomes should be measurable. Run a brainstorming session with your team and ensure that everyone is aware of and agrees with the goals.
- Identify opportunities that relate to the goals. Once you have identified the goals, look for opportunities that help you achieve these goals. For instance, if your goal is to maintain the customer satisfaction above 80%, identify what needs to be improved in service procedure to achieve this. It could be minimizing waiting time, or improving quality of service.
- Determine the solutions. What is the course of action that needs to be taken to minimize the waiting time per customer? What steps should be taken to optimize the efficiency of the workflow?
- Create your opportunity solution tree on a Creately free form workspace and get the team to share their feedback instantly. Run experiments on the tree and determine the fastest way to achieve your goals.
- Use the same canvas to turn your solutions into action plans and assign tasks to team members and track the progress of the goals.
