When should I use this template?
You should aim to identify your customer goals as early on in your product or feature development process as possible. Doing so will save you from working based on assumptions, and lead to better project management and decision-making. It’s important to build a culture of continuous learning when it comes to customer goals, so be sure to check in every once in a while to make sure your product plans still align with user needs.
Why is it important to learn more about my customers’ goals?
Simply put, knowing more about your customers is always a good idea for your business.
When you understand what your customers want and hope to achieve, you can work to deliver more user-centric products and experiences. You can also take the learnings to help improve current onboarding flows and help documentation surrounding your product—which in turn can help reduce tickets to your Customer Support team.
