1. CIRCLES Method for Product Design
When asked to “Design a Product for X”, structure your answer using CIRCLES:
- Comprehend the context
- Identify the customer persona
- Report customer needs
- Cut through prioritization
- Elist solutions
- Summarize recommendation
2. Feature Prioritization Frameworks (RICE Scoring)
Calculate RICE Score = (Reach × Impact × Confidence) / Effort. Demonstrate how you weigh technical risk against immediate ROI.
