What is the aspects to analyse?Show answer
A thorough analysis covers several aspects, often remembered through a checklist:
What are turning analysis into design decisions?Show answer
Like all research, product analysis is only useful if it leads somewhere. Each finding should become a decision for the new design: keep this feature, improve that weakness, avoid this fragile joint, match this price. "The handle is uncomfortable after long use" leads to a requirement for a better grip; "the case cracks at the corners" leads to stronger corner construction. Analysis without a resulting decision is wasted effort.
What are not linking findings to decisions?Show answer
Each finding should change the new design. Analysis that leads nowhere is wasted.
