Kano Model

Overview

Imagine if you could predict exactly how customers will react to new features in your product. The Kano Model does just that by categorizing features into three powerful groups: basic needs, performance, and delighters. Used primarily in product development and customer satisfaction analysis, this framework helps businesses prioritize features that truly matter. Visually, it’s represented by a curve showing how customer satisfaction changes with feature performance. To apply it, gather customer feedback, classify features, and use the insights to guide innovation and improvement. With the Kano Model, you turn customer expectations into strategic advantages.
