Mind the Product

A few years back I interviewed for a product role with an event management company. The beginning of the process was typical – I visited their local office for three hours of initial interviews, followed by another three hours of virtual interviews with their San Francisco office. At that point, the fit was a maybe on both sides. And if it’s a maybe after 10 hours of interviews and preparation, that means it’s a no.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.

[link] This is the last part of my four part series on A/B testing. Part 1 , Part 2 , and Part 3 are linked here. Should A/B testing be limited to two different versions of an idea? Is there an optimal number? A/B testing doesn’t need to be limited to two ideas at all. You can certainly have multiple variants of a specific idea.
