    • Conduct user need assessments to determine relevance of each functionality
    • Survey users to evaluate the conformity of features to their needs
    • Create a scoring system to measure feature suitability
    • Review user feedback regularly to identify new functionality requirements
    • Prioritise development efforts to address mismatched functionality
    • Use analytics tools to track usage of each functionality
    • Conduct workshops or focus groups to validate the necessity of new features
    • Regularly update documentation to reflect available features and their suitability

  • ⛳️ Strategy 2: Enhance usability metrics

    • Create a thorough user onboarding process to reduce learning time
    • Develop user training materials and video tutorials
    • Conduct usability testing sessions with new users to measure learning time
    • Implement user surveys to gauge ease of use
    • Analyse survey results to identify usability pain points
    • Streamline commonly used workflows to reduce the number of clicks required
    • Implement A/B testing to compare different user interface designs
    • Regularly review and update user interface based on usability feedback
    • Provide an in-app help feature for real-time assistance
    • Track and analyse user session data to find opportunities for usability improvements

  • ⛳️ Strategy 3: Optimise performance metrics

    • Perform baseline performance testing to determine current response times
    • Set target response times for critical user actions
