Product Case: Launch Alexa in a New Language Market
Context
You are the Product Manager for Alexa. You must launch Alexa in a country where the primary language is not currently supported. Assume you must deliver a locally relevant experience that meets regulatory requirements and achieves product-market fit.
Task
Outline a plan that covers the following:
- Product vision
- Target personas and core use cases
- Success metrics (quality, engagement, and business)
-
Main challenges and how you will address them:
- Speech recognition data scarcity
- NLP model training and evaluation
- Cultural nuance and localization
- Privacy and data regulations
- Local content and service partnerships
- Go-to-market strategy (pricing, channels, support)
- MVP scope (what’s in vs. out)
- Phased timeline with milestones
- Risk mitigation plan and launch gates
Make minimal, explicit assumptions where necessary (e.g., pick a representative non-supported language only to illustrate examples).
