Summary

[Inputs]

  1. Questions β€” what do I want to understand?
  2. Hypothesis β€” what is my proposed explanation to the question?
  3. Experiment β€” how do I want to design my experiment to test the hypothesis?

[Outputs]

  1. Observation β€” observe the experiment and record results.
  2. Analysis β€” interpret the results.

What happened:

  • Did the experiment improve or decrease the numbers? By how much?
  • What was the difference between the result and our prediction?
  • What type of longer term effect does this have on our growth?

Why did it happen:

  • Why did the experiment succeed or fail?
  • Why did it massively outperform (or underperform) expectations?

Applying the learnings:

With every experiment the owner has to talk about how the learnings can be applied moving forward. There’s two ways:

  1. Add any new experiment ideas based off the learnings to the backlog.
  2. Adjust our priorities for experiments in the backlog based off the learnings.
