FAQs

The Kano diagram categorizes product and service features by the level of customer satisfaction they may provide. Product managers and UX designers across all industries use Kano prioritization in product planning, weighing the trade-offs between customer needs and the cost of implementing certain features.

So, exactly what does the Kano model measure? It tracks features along two axes—satisfaction and functionality—which divide the Kano chart into distinct quadrants. Product features will fall into the quadrants according to how they measure on the satisfaction and functionality scales, allowing your team to see at a glance which ideas to prioritize.

The main aim of the Kano matrix is to help teams prioritize among different product and service features. When resources are limited, teams have to decide how to invest their time, skills, and energy. A Kano model template helps you select which features can meet user needs at the lowest cost.

A Kano analysis example covers four categories of features—each assigned to its quadrants—as follows:

- Attractive requirements – Jot these nice-to-have features in the top right box. Attractive requirements satisfy the customer but are not necessarily missed if they’re not present.

- Performance requirements – These useful features belong in the top left box of your template. They help increase customer satisfaction. And the more the feature gives, the better.

- Mandatory requirements – Fill these must-have ideas in the bottom right box. Without these functionalities, the customer will be dissatisfied.

- Indifferent requirements – These suggestions appear in the bottom left box. Indifferent requirements don’t matter to the customer and, therefore, won’t likely matter to your product team.
