Continuous Discovery
Main Stage

There's no point creating something that no one wants...yet, many teams skip doing Product Discovery with customers. I explain how to take smart risks during Discovery that can extract deeper insights from users. The focus is on concrete tips to craft and design experiments that make for more actionable user interviews that are quicker to deploy and analyze.
