Product design question

Design a product for groups of people to plan trips.

Practice this question out loud. An AI interviewer asks it, follows up like a real interviewer would, and scores your answer. Type or speak.

What this question tests

Product design fundamentals: identifying real user pain in group coordination and prioritizing a focused solution.

Users: friend groups planning a trip together, typically 4 to 8 people with different budgets and schedules.
Pain points: scattered planning across chat, spreadsheets, and booking sites, and decision paralysis on dates and destination.
Prioritize: focus on the biggest friction, likely date coordination and shared itinerary, not booking itself.
Solution: a shared poll for dates and destination, a collaborative itinerary board, and expense splitting.
Success metric: percent of trip plans that convert to a booked trip, and time from group creation to finalized dates.
Note what you would confirm: whether this is a standalone app or a feature inside an existing product like Messenger.

Narrows scope to the highest-friction step, date and destination alignment, instead of building a full travel booking suite.
Proposes a lightweight mechanic, like a swipe based vote on destinations, grounded in known group decision friction.
Defines a clear success metric, for example 30 percent of created trip groups reach a finalized itinerary within 2 weeks (assumption).

Trying to build a full booking and payments platform instead of the coordination layer.
No prioritization, listing every possible feature.
Success metric that is vanity, like number of app downloads.
