Talk · Minnebar 19
When used properly, user journey maps can be an invaluable tool to help product teams build empathy and understanding of how users move through your product or experience. They can illuminate customer friction, delight, and opportunities for improvement. However, in practice, they often do not live up to this ideal.

When used properly, user journey maps can be an invaluable tool to help product teams build empathy and understanding of how users move through your product or experience. They can illuminate customer friction, delight, and opportunities for improvement. However, in practice, they often do not live up to this ideal. Too often, journey maps begin and end as theoretical understandings of your ideal user. Often represented as generic personas, these maps are built on assumption after assumption, never to be tested and validated with actual data.

Talk · Minnebar 16
See publicationA/B testing is an incredibly valuable tool for data-driven product management. But, it doesn’t come for free and it isn’t the only available method for vetting new user experiences. Taken to its logical extreme, if you were to A/B test every feature in your product, you would be throwing away 50% of your product team’s work!
So given that opportunity cost, is A/B testing even worth it? Well… it depends!
