The incentive for completing these tasks was a discount when it came time to file an insurance claim on their home.\u00a0<br><br>The problem with this app was that the incentive program provided value to users too late in the game. Moreover, that value arrived during a comparatively unhappy, stressful time: when a user needed to file an insurance claim.\u00a0<br><br>The takeaway in this example is a lesson in both <strong>value risk<\/strong> and<strong> viability risk<\/strong>, two of longtime product expert <a href=\"https:\/\/www.svpg.com\/four-big-risks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Marty Cagan\u2019s Four Big Risks<\/a>.\u00a0\t<\/p>\n\n<h2\t\tclass=\"typography block-typography__typography typography__color--bodyOnBlack typography__size--h6 typography__align--left\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tValue risk &amp; viability risk \t<\/h2>\n\n<p\t\tclass=\"typography block-typography__typography typography__color--bodyOnBlack typography__size--regular-body typography__align--left\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tValue risk represents the question of whether or not a product will provide sufficient value to its users. <br><br>Viability risk measures whether or not a product will be sufficiently viable from a business perspective.\u00a0<br><br>In the bigger picture, you can combine both value and viability risk under the umbrella of <strong>strategic risk<\/strong>. Typically, strategic risk is taken into account during the early stages of product development. It\u2019s the part of the process where you and your team assess whether or not the timing is right for the product you\u2019re building and, conversely, whether or not the product is right for the time you\u2019re building it.\u00a0<br><br>In this example, the insurance company\u2019s product team took a strategic risk that didn\u2019t pan out. More specifically, because the app provided too little value too late to its users, it also wasn\u2019t sufficiently viable for the company\u2019s business.\u00a0<br><br>By identifying the risk associated with the homeownership app\u2019s strategy, they were able to target the root cause of the app\u2019s poor performance and relaunch it with greater success.\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"block-title-and-content__social-links\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.deptagency.com\/en-in\/insight\/how-to-manage-embrace-risk-in-product-development\/\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-share-url=\"https:\/\/www.deptagency.com\/en-in\/insight\/how-to-manage-embrace-risk-in-product-development\/\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-share-title=\"How to manage &#038;

Something as simple as an \u201corder now\u201d button that\u2019s out of place or that doesn\u2019t stand out can make for a frustrating UX and a less successful product.\u00a0<br><br>Another important aspect of usability is the difference between mobile and desktop navigation design. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deptagency.com\/en-us\/case\/a-branded-commerce-experience\/\">Patagonia\u2019s mobile UX is <\/a>highly usable and also emphasizes its brand values.\u00a0<br><br>The values that Patagonia wanted to incorporate were story-based, including initiatives like their Footprint Chronicles and Patagonia Action Works.\u00a0<br><br>While all of these offered valuable insight into the brand\u2019s deep-rooted mission to be a more ethical, sustainable company, they needed to make sure they didn\u2019t conflict with their app\u2019s usability when it came to the overall shopping experience.<br><br>Working in collaboration with Patagonia, we created a navigation system for the product that took into account the entire customer journey, organizing content in a clear, logical way that fit the Patagonia brand and incorporating stories where they were the most relevant to help educate users about the products they were viewing.\u00a0<br><br>On paper, incorporating non-traditional elements, like storytelling, into the navigation system is a usability risk. But with proper execution, incorporating storytelling added to the overall mobile Patagonia experience.<br><br>Since making this contribution, Patagonia\u2019s mobile revenues have grown by 25%; a clear sign of success in terms of both usability and the overall product experience.<br><br>For product managers, in weighing usability risk always think back to the overall purpose of the product and think about how each component feeds into it. Be willing to be creative in how you can utilize the different elements to contribute to that purpose while keeping functionality top of mind.\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"block-title-and-content__social-links\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.deptagency.com\/en-in\/insight\/how-to-manage-embrace-risk-in-product-development\/\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-share-url=\"https:\/\/www.deptagency.com\/en-in\/insight\/how-to-manage-embrace-risk-in-product-development\/\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-share-title=\"How to manage &#038;
