Examples

Idea: Add search functionality to customer dashboard

Problem:
Customers can't find their past orders quickly. They have to scroll through pages of orders to find what they're looking for, leading to 15+ support tickets per week.

Audience:
All 5,000+ active customers are affected. Support team spends ~10 hours/week helping customers find orders.

Solution:
Add a search bar that filters by order number, date range, and product name. Success = 50% reduction in order-finding support tickets within 2 weeks of launch.

Tips for Success

  1. Be specific - Vague problems lead to vague solutions
  2. Quantify when possible - Numbers help us prioritize (e.g., "20 customers asked for this" vs "customers want this")
  3. One idea per submission - If you have multiple ideas, submit multiple templates
  4. Success metrics matter - How will we know this worked?
  5. Honest sizing - Better to overestimate than underestimate
