About the Kano method

The Kano model
A model to categorize and prioritize product features

The Kano method uses real customers' feedback to evaluate characteristics or features of a product. Depending on the given answers product features will be assigned one of six different categories: Must-Be, Performance, Attractive, Indifferent, Reverse, and Questionable. Using these categories, you can predict how the presence or absence of a feature will impact your customers' satisfaction. Customers' attitudes towards the features are assessed in an implicit way. Testers aren't directly asked which category they'd assign a feature. Instead the following question format is used.

The Kano survey
What your testers will see for each feature

The Kano feature categories
Based on your testers' input

Must-be
These features are the customers' fundamental requirements. Missing Must-be features decrease customer satisfaction.
The breaks of a car (you better have them)
Performance
These features are characterized by a direct relationship between improved functionality and customer satisfaction. The better they perform, the happier your customers will be.
Mileage of a car (the more the better)
Attractive
Customers don't expect these features. However, when presented they cause a positive reaction bordering on delight.
A car's extra equipment
Indifferent
The presence of absence of these features doesn't really change customer's reaction to the product – neither in a positive, nor in a negative way.
A car's sunroof (at least for some people)
Reverse
Customers are not interested in these features and are happy, when they're absent. They might also actually want the opposite feature.
Automatic location sharing
Questionable
Testers provided conflicting responses to both questions (such as "Like" and "Like").

Running studies
How shall I setup a study?
Describe your product and features thoroughly. What are you aiming at with your product? Where does it help users? What does a feature cause and in which situation is it relevant? Try to stay as neutral as possible to avoid any bias. You can test up to 10 features per study (because more becomes tedious for the testers and the response quality drops). If you need help in designing your study, drop us a line.
How do I get testers?
We can arrange testers (with the demographic features of your target group and custom screening questions) for your study from our various panel partners – just get in touch! Apart from that, you can share your study link via any channel you like, e.g., via social media such as Facebook or your newsletter campaign.
How many testers should I include in a study?
Our suggestion is to at least include 40 testers (per target group) to get statistically significant results. Often, when a feature is not clearly assigned to one category, multiple target groups were mixed up. Here we would create a study for each of your target groups and later compare the results.
