DELIGHT
SCALE
Product Experience Measurement Reimagined
With the Delight Scale, we crafted the 10 best questions to capture customer experience. The results are scored, weighted, and aggregated into a product’s Delight Score. This approach has proven to lead to a much more holistic measurement of customer experience, and actionable product insights to truly separate great products from average ones. Delight is the bedrock of every loyal and engaged customer.

Whether we look at the consumer market or the enterprise market, we are witnessing a transition from hardware, software, and service as an individual source of value to the total experience that arises from their combination. It is about the overarching experience a user receives that distinguishes a good product and a great product.

This week, Microsoft held its Microsoft Ignite conference and just before kicking that off, it held what has become the traditional Surface Fall event.
