Chethan, No one can teach Product design like you do. So recently I was trying to understand deeply the concept of user journey mapping but not getting content like yours on the topic. (Not a single person can teach like you do. ) Really thank you for everything you do. I can't describe how much your videos mean to us, how much value they provide. Thank you so much for everything.❤ Even if we pay 100000 fees to a design school they won't be able to teach us half of what you teach for free.
Finding your channel has to be the best thing to happen to my design career, and I'm even just starting out at product design. Thank you for all you do Chethan, very much appreciated.
Chethan what can we all do without you 😃 you just compiled 47 mins of quality content. This video is a lifesaver. wow wow thank you so much chethan, you are the real mvp! 👏🏻👏🏻
As an entrepreneur who's about to hire a key member for my startup team, your videos have enriched my understanding of what makes a great product designer. I've gained specific insights into what we need for our novel product with its unique UX flows that need to be built from scratch. This content has been so valuable!
I wanted to get started on an UX research regarding a problem statement but I was overwhelmed by the amount of things I watched but this video gave me a great direction! Thank you✨️
Holy Sh*t... This is really astonishing!!! As a beginner in this field after watching this video I realized it isn't about figma, adobe xD Or UI screens at all. It's about solving the problems. Thank you so much Chethan!!
Wow this is like a great summary of the book "Solving product design exercises" all the things mentioned by you are very similar to what has been said in that book except this video has great examples and insane depth to it.
Amazing! I have never seen that a problem statement can also be understood effectively. Now I'll definitely start analysing every problem like this. Worth to watch , hats off to your effort and times into making these, chetan❤️
Thank you millions brother! you're the one who shared a genuine solving problem process in detail plus on growing tons of problem statements on insta for practice which was literally pain in ass to search on internet for problem statement sample so grateful and keep uploading more problem statement
Thank you for the fantastic video DP!! Now that I know how to break down a problem statement, things will be much easier. However, throughout the video, you talked about doing the entire process in the span of 30hrs. This is a good way to execute take-home assignments but what about Whiteboarding sessions? Can you make a video on how to tackle Whiteboard problems? This video should be in succession to this since we're talking about product design assignments. Cheers!
Thank you very much Chethan. One of THE BEST videos which I wanted for a long. It helped in clearing so many doubts. Thanks for the amazing content man!!!!
For someone who is a beginner, when is the right time to start working on a problem statement, how do they know that they have learned to an extent when they can finally begin their first portfolio project?
Great question. Here is my personal recommendation. Try to finish learning how to create good looking screens in Figma. Which means things about trypography, colors, visual hierarchy, Color and text styles, auto layout etc. All the UI related topics. You don’t really need anyone’s help to learn all this. I would also recommend going through the material guidelines as well. Then I would suggest to learn design simple and basic flows such as a search experience, payment experience, browse experience, referral flow etc. Come up with tiny problem statements and design flows that have 5-10 screens. You will have to learn about competitive analysis here. Then I would say you can start working on a problem statement given that you Ui and UX skills are in a decent shape.
Ain't gonna lie, you're doing amazing 💯 I've been rewatching your videos over and over and they always helped me make proper decisions when tackling different design situations, please keep up the great work
Where have you been, I have been waiting for your content like forever, nice to have you back. This is fresh breath from all these Figma Tutorials. Thanks a lot.
Great video. I just had a doubt regarding the metrics you mentioned in context to the examples. The points you mentioned seem to relate more to the 'existence' of the app/internal tool rather than how certain internal elements can affect these metrics. For eg, when you say 'onboard more educators' it feels independent of the design within the tool, it feels more business-related since it is based on the very idea itself. Compare this with the conventional example of a particular design feature/flow increasing the conversion rate. I'm curious to hear your perspective on this.
Your absolutely right. Since we are designing a product it’s important to understand the primary objective. This of this as a product manage giving a presentation and not just a product designer
@@DesignPilot Wow, thank you for your reply! I'm working on my case study right now. What are the ways in which I can justify that the design decisions I take will surely improve the metrics related to the product, considering my resources and the fact that the product is not yet built?
Hey Chethan, this is amazing but I do have one question. You have mentioned deciding the type of product as the first step, but do you think it should be determined after the research? Wouldn't it be biased if my research is based on the type of product? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I was able to do the assignment after watching this video and submitted. Now I received a call for 2nd round of interview and I don't know what to expect.
I found this video super helpful. I have a question that I am working on my UI design part with the help of your videos but I don't know how can I practice this product thinking part Like the things you told identifying good and bad problems, creating personas , user story, defining metrics. Can you share some tips for the beginners on how to practice these skills?
Great Work. I just want to ask that when you said that the worst projects are "Ed tech, Ecommerce, Food tech, News " did you meant that we can't use these projects in our portfolio even if we redesign these websites or apps to make the overall user experience better or add some new feature in the previous design.
Haha. I didn’t say they are the worst. I said they aren’t the best as they don’t demonstrate product thinking skill. You can add anything to your portfolio. But if you want to get into good product companies with great design teams, generic app projects won’t work. Redesigns are always good as long as there is a significant difference in the UI and the experience. The redesign should help make a significant impact to the user and business. Just adding a small tiny feature isn’t enough. You can still do it, but then you may need more projects to demonstrate your breadth of skills.
One question! When understanding the user and creating the user story, do we perform normal research methods like surveys, interviews, etc? Or do we make assumptions as to who the user will be and based on that we create the user story?
You won’t know who to reach out to if you don’t decide who you want to solve for. Hence you take a call on who you want to solve for. Then use research methods to gather insights from users you decided to target.
Talking about doing Competitive Analysis (CA) What if I'm solving a problem which doesn't have any competitors I.e. No competitor app?? How I can do the CA? If I can't do, than what can I do? Do I design something based on my research insights? And later test the wireframes with the user?
I covered this in the video right? You observe the way how things are being done currently in real life without a digital product and see how you can solve it digitally.
Hi so at last part Chetan says you can work with other designers. So is it ok to do this for take home assignment. Like by taking help or suggestions of other designers ? To solve the problems
Well it doesn’t matter even if you take hell of other designers. The interview rounds will test your skills in every angle. Just because you took someone’s help in the assignment round doesn’t mean you’ll be able to present your work well, provide valid answers when your decisions are challenged etc
bro In this playlist, the videos are very informative, but they are shuffled, so it's a little bit confusing for where to start from a bigger perspective. So can you help on this?
Hi, Chethan! Great video as usual. I had one small doubt. In the car application problem statement, I had understood that the application will show you details of many cars so that the salesperson can show the customer many car options to help them decide the car they like best. But in 36:39, you say that the tool we made is used AFTER the customer already selects the car they want to buy. Am I missing something here?
@@DesignPilot Oh so is it like the sales person enters the features that the customer is looking for, and the tool gives options of cars which have those features?
hi brother, in your b2b2c example, I did not get, how there are 3 users, which I analysis there are two users 1 is sports centres and 2nd is general public,,,,,, and one more question what is the full form of b2b and b2b2c
This video is 💎. I spent so much time scrambling through internet to figure out this whole process. Now when I see this video I feel jealous 🫠. Watched the whole video, learnt many new things and got a much clear idea about the whole process. Great video as always 🤌💎
Bro, if you can share that presentation file, it will be very helpfull.
I updated the description. Do have a look.
@@DesignPilot thanks for sharing file it also helps us on documenting better
I'm so glad I found this gem of content in the early stage of my product design career, god bless u Chethan.

this video is so rich in content, thank you for sharing!
My pleasure
Hey Chethan, this is amazing but I do have one question. You have mentioned deciding the type of product as the first step, but do you think it should be determined after the research? Wouldn't it be biased if my research is based on the type of product? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Research is a broad term. What type of research are you talking about?
@@DesignPilot Primary research, the desk research will def help me in understanding "why or why not" a certain type of product will work or not.
Well in that case, you should do it if it’s not yet been decided that there is a need for a digital solution.
I was able to do the assignment after watching this video and submitted. Now I received a call for 2nd round of interview and I don't know what to expect.
Great Content, explained very well.
Can't thank u enough for this gem of a video sir. Awesome content.🤩

Pick up any problem statement
@@DesignPilot is there is any way we can study the problem statements the other companies picked and how they came out the solution?
@sachinnegi2924 If there are case studies by those companies online then yes.
@@DesignPilot thanks 🙏
Design Prophet would be a better name for your channel 😂 You are my hero

is there any way to reach out to you other than insta..actually I wanted to ask some questions
I prefer only instagram
hey chethan, just curious how long it took you to work on that unacademy internal dashboard redesign project while working there.
Around 2-3 months
Thanks for the video ❤
this is gold!

Thank you for replying to all of my questions Chethan.
Waiting for your next video, you're inspiration!
In detail video on how to do brain storming or mind mapping?
Nice tutorial Michael,
Hey chetan!
Can we use this bucket system for open ended and very open ended problem statement huh? 🤔
Anything
This is pure gold, how is this free?

Thanks to god I found you man! You're DAVID GOGGINS of UX/Product Design :)
bro In this playlist, the videos are very informative, but they are shuffled, so it's a little bit confusing for where to start from a bigger perspective. So can you help on this?
It is in the right order
@@DesignPilot but firstly we go with problem statement and many other UX stuffs., after then we go with UI part right.
@shivaprasadhb7976 Well learning to design basic UI in the first thing you need to learn.
@@DesignPilot hoo ok then i will start UI part., and thanks for your quick response.
Thnks for this video !
Hi, Chethan! Great video as usual. I had one small doubt. In the car application problem statement, I had understood that the application will show you details of many cars so that the salesperson can show the customer many car options to help them decide the car they like best. But in 36:39, you say that the tool we made is used AFTER the customer already selects the car they want to buy. Am I missing something here?
Maybe there is a misunderstanding. The tool is to be used from the beginning of the flow
@@DesignPilot Oh so is it like the sales person enters the features that the customer is looking for, and the tool gives options of cars which have those features?
Well that’s left to you as the designer to figure out.
@@DesignPilot Alright, thank you!
22:16 So we have to assume the core problem statement? Am I getting it right?
Yes
hi brother, in your b2b2c example, I did not get, how there are 3 users, which I analysis there are two users 1 is sports centres and 2nd is general public,,,,,, and one more question what is the full form of b2b and b2b2c
Yeah. But who made the app? Who is providing a platform for the sport centres?
b2b stands for (business - business) b2b2c stands for (business - business - customers)
Great content 🔥♥️
I have a big question, Sir, why did you stop posting problem statements on your Instagram??
I’ll share when I come across something that is worth solving
Pure gold... 😍 Thanks a ton for sharing such quality content
It's been a wild ride.
Waiting for it
Gareebo ka masiha🥰 Thanks for all sharing your knowledge
