RISK ASSESSMENT & MANAGEMENT

Risk Management

Key risks include competition from established productivity tools and platforms, user retention amidst a plethora of free tools, and the challenge of scaling support and infrastructure as the user base grows. Notion addresses these through constant innovation, a freemium model that encourages long-term adoption, and a strong community-driven approach to support and development.

Failures

Challenges for Notion include overcoming initial skepticism about its broad scope (as an all-in-one tool) and ensuring performance and usability scale with its growing feature set and user base.

Lessons Learned

Notion’s journey highlights the importance of user-centric design, the value of building a community around a product, and the effectiveness of a freemium model in driving adoption and retention in the SaaS space.
