The Product Team's Reality

STAKEHOLDER: "We need analytics"
↓
YOU: Try to decode what they actually want
↓
TICKET: "Add analytics dashboard"
↓
ENGINEER: "This could mean 1000 different things"
↓
RESULT: Wrong dashboard built, 3 sprints wasted

The WhatProblem Difference

REQUEST:
"We need analytics"
↓
WhatProblem, within a minute:
"As I read it: you want to know how a feature is doing without asking engineering for numbers.
What decision will the analytics inform?
Which feature, and what would tell you it is being adopted?
What is the number today, and what would count as success?"
↓
REPLY:
"Whether to keep investing in the new onboarding flow. Completion rate, start to finish. About 45% now, we want 70%."
↓
IN THE ISSUE NOW: what the analytics are for, which flow, how adoption is
measured, a 45% baseline and a 70% target. Enough to estimate, with the reasoning kept.

A request that already says all that gets the restatement and no questions.
