Episode notes
Case studies of scrappy product management experiments Watch on YouTube TLDR In this episode, I'm interviewing Jeff Lash, VP of Product Management at Insperity, to demystify product experimentation for product managers. Jeff unpacks scrappy ways to test assumptions, mitigate risk, and maximize learning, sharing case studies from his work in B2B product management. We discuss real examples, key principles for experimentation, and navigating organizational dynamics to drive informed product decisions. Introduction Most product managers think experimentation requires expensive A/B testing software, a team of data scientists, and thousands of users. They're wrong. You can and should be testing your riskiest assumptions today, and doing so in ways that are fast and frugal. By the end of this episode, you'll have a toolkit of testing methods that you can deploy immediately. Our guest is the perfect guide for this. Jeff Lash is the Vice President of Product Management at Insperity. Before that, he spent nearly a decade at Forrester and SiriusDecisions, where he advised the world's top product organizations on exactly these strategies.
