You’ve spent days, weeks, or even months creating that new product or new feature. You release it out into the wild and then feel a huge sense of relief. Except your work is not done. You’re now in a position to get a lot more information on whether your product solves your customers’ needs. But you can’t just sit there and wait for the information to flow in — you have to go out and seek that feedback. Here are some ideas on how you can go about that.
7 strategies for collecting product feedback. In order to launch products that customers love you have to be strategic about using customer feedback to validate your product ideas at key stages of the product development lifecycle. When building products you can use a variety of customer feedback techniques to understand your customer, their problems, and to determine the best solution you can deliver.

How to gather actionable customer feedback from customer-facing teams. Internal feedback comes from customer-facing teams who are constantly tapped into conversations with day-to-day users—something you probably wish you had the time to do, but really can’t.

Handling this raw faucet of qualitative information requires a focused, strategic approach and closing feedback loops to ensure that both customer-facing teams and the customers feel heard by the product team. The folks at Roadmunk explore how you can strengthen the tie between product and internal stakeholder feedback so that you can get relevant and actionable insights into the needs of your customers.
