About this project

User research is the input to good product decisions. This project teaches the lean methodology: 10 customer interviews in a month, structured synthesis, opportunity-statement format, and the org skill of getting other PMs to read your insights. Pick a product you ship to (or a friend's startup) and run it.

Why build this in 2026?

Lean research is one of the highest-leverage PM activities. Most teams under-invest.
