CASE STUDY:

Feature Prioritization through Integrated Qualitative & Quantitative

Background: A high tech firm needed to decide what potential features to invest in for the next version of a product.

Challenges: The client came to us with a unique combination of needs:

  • Highly confidential subject matter
  • Concepts required rich stimuli to be communicated effectively
  • Need for statistically significant results
  • Desire to explore "why" behind the statistics
  • Results needed fast


Objectives: Provide clear, statistically significant recommendations for development priorities backed up by rich context and texture around why features were appealing and how they might be used by respondents.

Solution: Schireson developed an innovative approach:
  • Integrated Qualitative & Quantitative research
  • Use of demonstration, screenshots and presentation
  • Quantitative survey taken in person, at facility
  • Focus group debrief immediately following
  • Final report delivered on time


Results: Clear recommendations on what capabilities to invest in – and how users wanted them to work.
