Product Management Improvement Question: Enhancing Savvas Learning's ELA curriculum for increased student engagement

Introduction

To improve Savvas Learning's myPerspectives English Language Arts curriculum and increase student engagement, we need to analyze the current product, identify pain points, and develop innovative solutions. I'll approach this challenge by examining user segments, analyzing pain points, generating solutions, and proposing metrics for success.

Why it matters: Determines which features to prioritize for improvement Expected answer: Daily reading assignments, writing exercises, and collaborative discussions Impact on approach: Would focus on enhancing these core activities for better engagement

  • Considering user behavior, I'm curious about cross-platform usage. How do students typically access myPerspectives - through school-provided devices, personal computers, or mobile devices?

Why it matters: Influences the design and optimization of the user interface Expected answer: Mix of school devices and personal computers, with some mobile usage Impact on approach: Would prioritize responsive design and cross-device synchronization

  • Regarding pain points and market position, how does myPerspectives currently compare to competitors in terms of student engagement metrics?

Why it matters: Helps identify areas where we're lagging behind or leading the market Expected answer: Average engagement, with room for improvement in certain areas Impact on approach: Would focus on differentiating features and addressing key weaknesses

  • Thinking about the product lifecycle, where is myPerspectives in its current stage, and what are the primary growth objectives?

Why it matters: Determines if we should focus on user acquisition or retention Expected answer: Mature product looking to increase market share and user retention Impact on approach: Would prioritize features that improve stickiness and word-of-mouth growth
