Day 33 / 100 · Prioritisation · The Kano model

Not every feature delights.

Customers react to features in different ways. Some are only noticed when missing; some make people smile.

Basics

Expected

“It just has to work.”

If missing: angry customers

Example: calls connect clearly

Performance

More Is Better

“The better it is, the happier I am.”

If improved: more satisfaction

Example: call quality, fair pricing

Delighters

Unexpected

“Oh, that's clever!”

If missing: nobody notices

Example: voicemails transcribed to email

Watch out: today's delighter becomes tomorrow's basic. What surprised customers five years ago is now expected.

Fix the basics. Then delight.
