To take the method to the next level, do the homework and prepare a survey, or allocate time in <a href=\"https:\/\/uxstudioteam.com\/ux-blog\/user-interviews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interviews<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/uxstudioteam.com\/ux-blog\/usability-testing\/\">usability tests<\/a>. We advise you to get at least 20 responses per feature.<\/p>\n<p>The questionnaire aims to justify a feature from two opposite angles: what would users feel if they had access to a certain feature (functional) and what would they feel if they didn\u2019t (dysfunctional).<\/p>\n<p>Here you can find some great example questions by <a href=\"https:\/\/foldingburritos.com\/kano-model\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Zakarias<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Functional question<\/strong>: &#8220;if exporting any video takes under 10 seconds, how do you feel?&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Incorrect dysfunctional question<\/strong>: &#8220;if exporting any video takes longer than 10 seconds, how do you feel?&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preferable dysfunctional question<\/strong>: &#8220;if exporting some videos takes longer than 10 seconds, how do you feel?&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span>The answer options include: I like it &#8211; I expect it &#8211; I am neutral &#8211; I can live with it &#8211; I dislike it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The feature is then classified into one of six categories: Questionable (Q)- Attractive (A) &#8211; Must-be (M) &#8211; Reverse (R)- One-dimensional (O) &#8211; Indifferent (I)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5700\" src=\"https:\/\/uxstudioteam.com\/ux-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image2-720x424.png\" alt=\"prioritization techniques - table\" width=\"620\" height=\"365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/timemachine.uxstudioteam.com\/ux-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image2-720x424.png 720w, https:\/\/timemachine.uxstudioteam.com\/ux-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image2-768x452.png 768w, https:\/\/timemachine.uxstudioteam.com\/ux-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image2.png 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A feature considered &#8216;Indifferent (I)&#8217; does not evoke any strong feelings in users (either because it does not bring any value, or simply this is not perceived by them).

In that case, it&#8217;s important to have somebody on the team that represents the customer\u2019s viewpoint based on proper research.
