Continuous Discovery Habits

Original name

Original description

Apply Teresa Torres's Continuous Discovery Habits — the weekly product-trio practice of story-based customer interviews, an Opportunity Solution Tree, and small assumption tests that keeps discovery running as infrastructure rather than a project. Use this skill whenever the user is doing product discovery work — setting up a weekly interview cadence, building or updating an Opportunity Solution Tree (Outcome → Opportunities → Solutions → Assumption Tests), running story-based customer interviews, mapping desirability/viability/feasibility/usability/ethical assumptions, designing small assumption tests instead of full experiments, framing a product outcome vs a business outcome, forming a product trio (PM + designer + engineer), diagnosing why "we already talk to users" isn't producing insight, or reframing "opportunities" that are actually features in disguise. Also use when the user mentions Teresa Torres, Continuous Discovery Habits, Product Talk, the Opportunity Solution Tree, the product trio, story-based interviewing, "tell me about the last time you…", assumption mapping, or the Interview Coach — by name or indirectly. Prefer this skill over generic "talk to your users" advice when the question is about *how to actually make discovery weekly, trio-based, and outcome-anchored* — Torres's method has strict rules that generic user-research advice loses.
