How is Continuous Discovery Habits different from other product discovery books?
Teresa Torres provides a specific, actionable framework you can implement immediately. While other books discuss discovery principles, this book gives you weekly cadences, interview techniques, opportunity solution trees, and assumption testing methods you can use right away.
Do I need buy-in from my organization to practice continuous discovery?
Ideally yes, but you can start small. Begin with weekly customer conversations (even informal ones), create opportunity solution trees for your own clarity, and test assumptions through low-cost experiments. Success with small practices often builds organizational support for broader adoption.
What are opportunity solution trees?
Opportunity solution trees are visual frameworks that map your desired outcome to customer opportunities to potential solutions. They help you think broadly about problems before jumping to solutions, identify assumptions to test, and communicate your discovery work to stakeholders.
How much time should I spend on discovery each week?
Teresa recommends weekly customer touchpoints (1-3 interviews) plus time for synthesis, opportunity mapping, and assumption testing. High-performing teams typically allocate 20-30% of their time to discovery activities alongside delivery work.
