Storytelling Is Everything

Product managers and designers can benefit tremendously by great storytelling, and so can anyone who is working with product design.

Purpose

Instead of selling products, we need to focus on their purpose and what good it does for the end-user. Focus on the need of the customer and design the product around it.

Tell-Show-Tell

The Tell-Show-Tell Structure:

  • Tell the audience what's about to unfold, and what the user needs.
  • Show them how it happens.
  • Tell them why they need to care and what's at stake.

The story also needs to be innovative and fresh, though it may revolve around the tried and tested hero's journey narrative.

The End

Know well in advance what the ending would be like.

The purpose and key result should be the final outcome. Make sure your focus does not deviate from the main objectives.
