Solution discovery: How to find the best solution

Solution discovery is the process of finding the best solution to the problem that you have identified. It is important because it helps you to understand what the best solution is, and it helps you to understand how to build the best solution.

It should be done after you have done problem discovery, and before you start building the solution.

How solution discovery relates to product discovery

Solution discovery is a part of product discovery. Product discovery is the process of finding out what to build. That starts with finding the problem that you want to solve, and then finding the best solution to that problem.

How to do solution discovery

There are many different ways to do solution discovery. The most common way is to use a framework or model. A framework or model is a set of questions that you can use to find the best solution. You can use a framework or model to find the best solution to a problem, or you can use it to find the best solution to a product.

There are many different frameworks and models that you can use. You can find a list of them on the left side of this page (on desktop).

But most importantly, solution discovery does not need to follow some linear process. It is a messy process, that can look very different from one project to another. It is a process that is very dependent on the problem that you are trying to solve, and the customer that you are trying to solve it for.

Whatever let's you discover what the best solution is, is the best way to do solution discovery. However, the less work you have to put in the better.

How to find the best solution

The best solution is the solution that solves the problem in the best way. It is the solution that is the most valuable to the customer, and it is the solution that is the easiest to build.

One trap that many people fall into, is thinking they know the best solution. They think they know what the best solution is, and they start building it. But they are often wrong. They are often wrong because they don't know the problem well enough, or they don't know the customer well enough.

They often end up building a solution that doesn't solve the problem, or that doesn't solve the problem in the best way. They end up building a solution that is not valuable to the customer, or that is not easy to build.

That is why it is important to do solution discovery. It helps you to find the best solution, and it helps you to understand how to build the best solution.
