Creating great products begins with understanding your users. By clearly identifying user needs, you can focus your attention on the most valuable product opportunities and confidently decide what to prioritize next.
Timebook helps you easily capture these Insights, translate them into clear Opportunities, and visually organize them with Opportunity Solution Trees (OSTs). With this approach, you can ensure all potential development paths are clearly mapped out for informed future decisions.
Insights in Timebook can be auto-captured from Interview transcripts or created manually. Regardless of how you gather them, each Insight has a convenient [Generate] button, enabling you to quickly convert Insights into clear, actionable Opportunities representing potential product improvements. You can also generate Work Items from Insights to turn feedback directly into tasks—but that's a different story.
Opportunities clearly define potential areas of improvement or growth based on your Insights. Each Opportunity includes an Opportunity score, calculated from its importance and current user satisfaction, helping your team prioritize effectively in the next stages of your product discovery process. Creating Opportunities is a significant milestone—it helps you quickly move from ideas to action.
Quick wins with Insights to Opportunities in Timebook:
Capture Insights automatically or manually, then instantly convert them into Opportunities with the [Generate] button.

An Opportunity Solution Tree (OST) is a simple visual tool that helps product teams clearly map out potential areas to improve a product, explore different solutions, and stay aligned on big-picture goals. Instead of working on separate ideas, you can evaluate all ideas in one place and choose the best path forward.
In Timebook, you can use OSTs to visually organize your Opportunities, link them to potential Solutions, and connect everything back to your overarching Goals. This creates an easy-to-follow, tree-like view of your entire product discovery process. What’s more, each Team in Timebook gets its own module to manage OSTs and keep their discovery process organized.
