Testing assumptions is a great way to accelerate learning about your customer and derisk projects. For example, a company may believe that most of their customers would want to take a certain class they offer. And yet, when the company runs an experiment they discover that only a couple people show any interest in the class offering.
Learning first how to map assumptions will help teams organize their assumptions so they test assumptions that truly matter.
How do you learn about mapping assumptions. David Bland created this webinar on assumptions mapping.
Lots of great content in this webinar, including facilitation and design thinking techniques.
Inputs for assumptions mapping include:
- Business model canvas
- Product Roadmap
- Product backlog
- Opportunity Solution Tree
- User story map...
Key concept from the webinar: Defer building as long as possible.
The concepts in David’s webinar are extremely helpful and can stop you from wasting months of development time.
