Black Friday is a good example of the difference between the needs and wants associated with a product.
I wanted lots of things – a tablet and a digital notepad for example. But, I didn’t need them.
My life would be no more productive!!!
The tablet just mirrors what my phone does and I have a chromebook already, and with my awful handwriting an expensive digital version of my scribble rather than a 99p pen and note pad would be a huge waste of money.
Recent work I’ve done in the airport industry has seen a typical RFP list hundreds of mandatory requirements (needs?), but when the opportunity arises to clarify them, the need can often be revalidated as more of a want.
A critical part of Product Management and Business Analysis is navigating that space and making sure you know the problem your working in and build for the need not the want.
