The most boring solution possible
Or why you shouldn't start with tech
If they had to create a booking system for phone booths, most people would use a tech-based solution.
But why? For it you need to:
Teach everyone how to book a slot;
Add people to the booking platform (e.g. Google Calendar);
Open an app every time you want to see if the booth is free.
Thinking creatively would give you a much better solution though. For example, why not book the room by writing down your name on the door?
Analog Phone Booth. Quite a few meetings today!
💡 Exercise for you: you’re probably overcomplicating parts of your product or user journey with tech. If you had no way of using tech, what would you do?
