Question 2

Which of the following best describes 'outcome-based roadmapping'?

Question 3

A product has strong activation but poor retention. Which action is most appropriate?

Poor retention after strong activation means users try the product but stop returning, signaling a gap between initial value and sustained value delivery.

Scope creep occurs when new features or requirements are added to a project without corresponding adjustments to timeline, budget, or resources.

Question 5

In a product analytics funnel, what does a high 'drop-off' rate at the payment step typically indicate?

There is friction, confusion, or trust issues at the checkout experience

Answer

Drop-off at payment usually points to UX friction, unclear pricing, lack of trust signals, or a confusing checkout flow rather than price sensitivity alone.
