The User Feedback Analysis template helps product teams organize, categorize, and act on user feedback systematically. This format ensures valuable user insights don't get lost and are converted into actionable improvements.

This template is essential for product teams, customer success teams, and anyone responsible for understanding and responding to user needs. It provides structure for turning feedback into product improvements.

Feedback Categories

The format organizes feedback into five key areas:

  • Positive Feedback: What users love and want more of
  • Negative Feedback: Pain points, frustrations, and complaints
  • Feature Requests: New functionality users are asking for
  • Bugs: Technical issues and defects reported
  • Action Items: Concrete steps to address feedback

This structure ensures teams don't just collect feedback but systematically analyze it and convert it into actionable work.
