Hello friends,
Every day, we get hundreds of ideas for how to improve our devices. Much of this feedback gets picked up by our bug hunters or through surveys, making OxygenOS truly a software system that we’ve built together as a community. However due to sheer volume, some passionate ideas undoubtedly get overlooked. Perhaps you’ve posted a few suggestions yourself, convinced that these changes will create a better device experience.
But put to the test, would your idea survive the logical hoops of implementation? For those of you who’ve seen the show Shark Tank, you know what I’m getting at. If you have a dream feature you’d like to see implemented into OxygenOS, we hereby invite you to take on our Product Manager Challenge.
We’ve created a simplified version of the product pitch process that our product managers use every day. Submit a PRD (product requirements document) answering the following questions in a new thread (with #PMChallenge in the title) in
the Tech section before February 22.
Who are the users?
What is the proposed function?
What is the user value?
If there are existing comparable functions in the smartphone industry, how is your proposed feature superior?
Be sure to:
-Explain the logic behind this product and how you want it to be implemented
-Include directions and details via diagram sketches. Draw each screen and show the flow from screen to screen. (See the design principles post if you’d like an example.)
We will use the following questions to scrutinize your pitch:
From the Product department –
does it contribute to a burdenless experience?
From the developers -
how will different parts of the existing OS interact with this new feature?
From UX Design –
what will the user experience be like? Does the current flow result in the optimal user journey?
@Gary C. and a few senior members of the software team will pick the best idea to implement into OxygenOS. We’ll announce the winning feature by mid-March and our software team will begin working on it right away. When the feature is ready, we’ll fly you out to a OnePlus launch event near you for a VIP experience so that you can proudly witness its launch in real life! You’ll also receive the device you helped build.
We look forward to your brilliant ideas! Let us know in the comments below if you have any questions.
Entries will be accepted in all languages and formats. Must be 18 and over to be eligible for the VIP launch experience. We may use your forum name in social media or promotions in association with your contest entry. Please click
