SUNDAY REWIND: Product experimentation pitfalls and how to avoid them

January 23, 2022 at 08:00 AM

Experimentation can add real value to your product. It's certainly a must-have tool for your product manager toolkit, if used correctly. Used incorrectly and you might find yourself heading in the wrong direction entirely — a point made by Jon Noronha, in his 2018 ProductTank Francisco talk.

This Sunday Rewind we jump back to this talk where Jon talks us through three common experimentation pitfalls:

  • Testing with the wrong metrics
  • Being mislead by statistics
  • Testing too few variations

If any of these sound familiar, Jon's talk is a must-watch once again.
