The need for On-Demand for Today's Learner
The need for on-demand for today's learner by Angela Sherly
This series is the first time I will share the background of KOCO Star, and I want to share my expertise on how to build KOCO Star as an on-demand platform.? To develop a brand-new product, the Product Owner has to figure out how to offer a product that can make the user's life at ease.?
Before continue, here are two things I’ve learned over years in product management area about built a new product:
Many startups compete to build products that provide the same services but utilize various customer acquisition strategies. So, where does one find goods and services that are in high demand? We have to ask ourselves a few critical questions:?
Working in an industry, sector, or with products that you are already somewhat familiar with will undoubtedly give you an advantage and make us more attentive to future trends, potential business in the sector you are working with, and—last but not least—what the product strategy will be executed to engage.
Examine your marketing approach whenever you come across or analyze a new product concept. Not all products are created equal, and some have a "perfect match" marketing approach while others may be more challenging. Some products are also simpler to market than others.
2. We built a product because the products solves a problem
Because they simplify people's lives easier, products that solve customer's problem are relatively easy to market. They also will likely remain in demand, but how can product people resolve problems by emphasizing on outcomes or outputs? I'll use a post from an Agile insider that I recently learned to tackle this issue by highlighting the significance of having two mindsets. We're possess to have:?
a. Solution-First Mindset
During discussions, we can easily determine problems that seek solution. We may attempt to start a conversation with someone else or a different team to get their viewpoint. You can speak with somebody one-on-one to have a comprehensive dialogue, then after you'll see how swiftly the solution was put out.

b. Problem-First Mindset
I was given a conceptual model by Agile Insider that outlines four steps when discussing a problem-first mindset:
When presented with a challenge, pausing is the primary thing you ought to do. Don't start to think about the hip new approaches you could use to resolve the issue.? Instead, make sure that you are aware of all the intricacies and that you have clarified the presumptions and constraints. This leads me to the next point.
Products must constantly change in order to address users' problems, which are often complex. Utilizing methods like the 5 Whys, Funnel Analysis, and Fishbone, to analyze a problem. Start with the sub-issues that have been identified. And then start building hypotheses based on your understanding of the user base.
Keep ideas limited to address a single sub-problem. Don’t go looking for a silver bullet. Ideas can be organically merged later.
Once you have your ideas listed, think about how and when you want to execute. You will want to prioritize and shortlist ideas based on the effort required, the urgency of the problem, and the potential impact it will have on the end-user.
That’s why we’re building KOCO Star. It provides a wide range of on-demand services that cater to every aspect of students academic life. Whether it's homework, revision before exams, or even just some friendly study tips — KOCO has you covered!?
We understand that students have many different needs and we have tailored our services accordingly and we also understand that studying can be tough and sometimes you need someone to provide a helping hand. A strong reason why we provide one-on-one teachers to help students achieve their goals today. The product making process is a combination of solution first mindset, problem first mindset and envisioned a future where “No Child Gets Left Behind”.
