Product Management Improvement Question: Enhancing CBS mobile app features for live sports engagement

Introduction

To increase viewer engagement during live sports broadcasts on CBS's mobile app, we need to explore innovative features that enhance the viewing experience and create a more interactive environment. I'll analyze the current situation, identify key user segments and pain points, propose solutions, and outline a strategy for implementation and measurement.

Step 1

Clarifying Questions

  • Looking at the product context, I'm thinking about the app's current feature set. Could you provide an overview of the existing features for live sports broadcasts in the CBS mobile app?

Why it matters: Helps identify gaps and opportunities for improvement. Expected answer: Basic live streaming, some stats, and maybe a chat feature. Impact on approach: Would focus on enhancing existing features or introducing entirely new ones.

  • Considering user behavior, I'm curious about cross-platform usage. How do users typically engage with CBS sports content across different devices (mobile, desktop, TV)?

Why it matters: Informs how we can create a cohesive, multi-platform experience. Expected answer: Users often switch between devices, starting on mobile and moving to larger screens. Impact on approach: Would prioritize features that enable seamless transitions and complementary experiences.

  • Regarding product lifecycle and company alignment, what are the key performance indicators (KPIs) CBS is currently focusing on for the mobile app's sports content?

Why it matters: Ensures our solutions align with broader business objectives. Expected answer: User retention, time spent in-app, and ad revenue are primary KPIs. Impact on approach: Would tailor solutions to directly impact these metrics.

  • Considering external factors, how does CBS's mobile app currently compare to competitors in terms of features and user engagement during live sports broadcasts?

Why it matters: Helps identify areas where we can differentiate or catch up to industry standards. Expected answer: Some competitors have more advanced social and interactive features. Impact on approach: Would focus on innovative features that set CBS apart while addressing any significant gaps.
