Why use voice of the customer?

“Voice of the Customer” is the term used to describe the stated and unstated needs or requirements of the customer (internal and external). This process of capturing customer requirements and feedback is an important input into organizational strategy, problem identification, project selection, and innovating. Data gathered from the customer can be quantitative or qualitative. The channels used to collect Voice of the Customer are referred to as listening posts.

 

Prior to drafting the problem statement, the project team should review available data that may help them capture Voice of the Customer so they are able to articulate the problem from the customer’s perspective.
