Introduction
As the PM of Lime Scooters, we're facing a critical challenge: users are signing up but not using our scooters. This situation presents a significant product trade-off that we need to address. I'll analyze the problem, propose solutions, and outline a strategy to increase scooter usage while maintaining our user base.
Analysis Approach
I'd like to start by asking a few clarifying questions to ensure we have a comprehensive understanding of the situation before diving into the analysis and proposed solutions.
