Opportunity Solution Trees
This walks you through building Teresa Torres' Opportunity Solution Trees, the framework product teams use to connect business outcomes to customer needs without jumping straight to features. It guides you from defining a measurable outcome at the top, through mapping customer opportunities from research, to generating multiple solutions and designing experiments. The structure is solid: it enforces the discipline of framing opportunities from the customer's perspective and comparing at least three solutions before committing. Use it when you're doing continuous discovery and need to keep your team focused on needs instead of feature requests. Skip it if the solution is already decided or you're not actually talking to customers.

Opportunity Solution Trees
Domain Context
The Opportunity Solution Tree (Teresa Torres, Continuous Discovery Habits) is the backbone of modern product discovery. It prevents teams from jumping to solutions by forcing them to first map the opportunity space.
Structure (4 levels):
-
Desired Outcome (top) — The measurable business or product outcome you're pursuing. Should be a single, clear metric (e.g., "increase 7-day retention to 40%"). This comes from your OKRs or product strategy.
-
Opportunities (second level) — Customer needs, pain points, or desires discovered through research. Frame them from the customer's perspective: "I struggle to..." or "I wish I could..." Prioritize using Opportunity Score: Importance × (1 − Satisfaction) (Dan Olsen).
-
Solutions (third level) — Possible ways to address each opportunity. Generate multiple solutions per opportunity — don't commit to the first idea. The Product Trio (PM + Designer + Engineer) should ideate together.
-
Experiments (bottom) — Fast, cheap tests to validate whether a solution addresses the opportunity. Use assumption testing (Value, Usability, Viability, Feasibility).
