Identifying Problems & Ideation - Checkpoint Test 2

What is the primary purpose of using the Pichler Product Vision Board?

• To meticulously plan the features for the next 12 months.

• To calculate the Total Addressable Market (TAM).

• To ensure all stakeholders are holistically aligned on the Vision, Target Group, Needs, and Core Product/Strategy.

• To define the team's weekly Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

Which statement accurately describes the relationship between Vision, Strategy, and Roadmap?

• The Vision defines the destination, the Strategy defines the path (including trade-offs), and the Roadmap defines the flexible sequence of steps.

• The Strategy defines the tactical steps for the Roadmap.

• The Vision is the 6-month goal; the Strategy is the 5-year goal.

• To define the team's weekly Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).The Roadmap must be completed before the Strategy can be approved.

Which criterion is most critical for a valid North Star Metric (NSM)?

• It must be tracked using a specific third-party analytics tool.

• It must be a leading indicator of core customer value and, ultimately, sustained business revenue.

• It must be easy to hit, ensuring team morale stays high.

• It must be measured only on a quarterly basis.

Why is the metric "Total Number of Daily Logins" considered a weak or flawed NSM?

• It is too difficult to calculate reliably.

• It measures Activity/Input (Output) rather than Value Delivery, meaning the customer may not have solved their JTBD.

• It is only relevant for B2C products.

• It is highly susceptible to regulatory changes.

In the OKR framework, which statement correctly differentiates an Objective (O) from a Key Result (KR)?

• The O is always an output, and the KR is always an input.

• The O is quantitative, and the KR is qualitative.

• The O is the qualitative, inspirational WHAT (the goal), and the KR is the quantitative, measurable HOW (the impact).

• The O must be achieved 100%, while the KR aims for 70%.

Which is the best example of an Outcome-Driven Key Result (KR)?

• Launch the new customer reporting feature by the end of the quarter.

• Complete all required feature documentation and conduct a training session.

• Reduce the team's average bug fix time by two hours.

• Increase user adoption of the reporting feature among Monthly Active Users (MAUs) from 30% to 70%.

What does Vertical Alignment primarily ensure within the OKR structure?

• That the Team-level Objectives directly contribute to and support the higher-level Product/Company Vision and NSM.

• All team members use the same software tools.

• That the project is prioritized using the WSJF framework.

• That the project is prioritized using the WSJF framework.

When using the WSJF (Weighted Shortest Job First) framework, what does the 'Size' component primarily measure?

• The size of the development team required for the job.

• The overall strategic risk of the job.

• The percentage of users that will be reached.

• The duration or estimated effort required to complete the job.

Based on the AscendFlow Case Study, if the Objective is to "Substantially improve the team's psychological safety and informal recognition," what aspect of the JTBD is this Objective most focused on?

• The Functional Job (improving app stability).

• The Financial Job (saving company money).

• The Emotional/Social Job (feeling valued, safe, and connected).

• The Technical Job (API performance).

A modern Roadmap organized by themes like "Reduce Onboarding Anxiety" and "Scale to Enterprise" is primarily fulfilling its role as a:

• Detailed Gantt Chart listing all feature dependencies.

• Strategic Communication Tool that explains the "Why" (problems/themes) behind the work to stakeholders.

• Document dictating fixed dates for all marketing campaigns.

• Technical document for database architects.
