<p>In 2020, we had to brush up on our skills. Building quickly and testing with users is key to many product people, but this year demanded a new approach when we couldn&#8217;t do our work in person. With that in mind, we&#8217;re revisiting our chat with Cookpad&#8217;s Head of Product for Premium Services, Philip Pantelides, who takes rapid prototyping to a whole new level.</p>
<p>Really, that&#8217;s why we came back to this episode.  It has <em>nothing</em> to do with Philip&#8217;s beard and jolly demeanor.</p>

<h3>Quote of the Episode</h3>
<blockquote><p>We set ourselves a really clear sprint question, one that you can answer with a yes or a no&#8230; [and] at the end of 5 [user] tests, we&#8217;ll know how the user would have answered that question&#8230; Unless a minimum of 3 &#8211; usually 4 or 5 &#8211; are a strong yes, it&#8217;s a fail and we&#8217;ll have to go back around again.</p></blockquote>
