Product development teams at all levels are commonly vexed by the question "which new features should we prioritize?" In the absence of an empirically sound prioritization method, product teams are often prone to internal forces carrying an outsized influence over their product roadmaps - including the infamous HiPPO effect.

The Kano survey method offers a novel approach to product feature prioritization by considering not only the functional requirements of a product feature, but also the emotional needs and expectations of users. While a Kano survey doesn't make the prioritization decisions for you, it provides a user-centric, quantitative way of revealing the features that really matter to people.
