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?
