Question
What are the three steps of product analysis and evaluation?
Answer
Examine how the product performs; determine its strengths and weaknesses; turn the weaknesses into opportunities for improvement.
Question
What separates analysis from description?
Answer
An analysis ties every observation to a consequence, so it changes what you would design next. A description only says what the product is like.
Question
Why must a weakness carry a measurement?
Answer
So the redesign can be shown to have improved it. "Tips at 4 kg placed 80 mm in" can be re-measured; "a bit unstable" cannot.
Question
How is a weakness turned into an opportunity?
Answer
State it with a measurement, say what it costs the user, name the feature responsible, and write it as a testable requirement ready for a specification.
