7 Method Libraries for Experiments & Concept Tests


7 Method Libraries for Experiments and Concept Tests

by Jeff Humble


Dear Reader,

Today, I want to share some behind-the-scenes research on Designing Product Experiments.

When I design a course, I go deep on research...like buying every book on the topic and scouring the internet for every possible PDF.

For our course on product experiments, 7 playbooks in particular influenced the course. Here they are, ranked in order of usefulness:

1. The Experiment Library by Strategyzer

2. Validation Guide by Board of Innovation

3. Compendium of Innovation Methods by Nesta

4. Experiment Playbook by Lean Apps

5. The Real Startup Book by Kromatic

6. Landscape of Innovation Approaches by States of Change

7. Guide to Scaling Product-Led Experimentation by Amplitude

Unfortunately, most of these playbooks require an email to download.

If you want a little preview of each before you give away your info, I wrote a short review of each playbook in the full article. It's a great way to bookmark this resource for later. Check it out below:

I had to brace myself every Monday morning for some radical change in company direction. We never knew what the new agenda would be, but we knew that it would throw our work into chaos. Sometimes, all it took was for the founder to read a single article to change the company agenda. When a competitor...

Why Your Portfolio Isn’t Working (and How to Fix It) By Hannah Baker Dear Reader, Let’s talk about a harsh truth: Your UX portfolio might be the least important thing in your job search. Yep, I said it. You spent hours making sure it showcases your best work. You structured your case studies just right. You ensured your problem statements, research insights, and solutions flowed together. And yet… hiring managers are ghosting you like a bad Hinge date. Well, the problem isn’t your...

Chasing Competitors Instead of User Needs by Jeff Humble Dear Reader, Have you ever had a CEO who was overly obsessed with beating the competition? I know I have. You may not have realized exactly how this can be toxic. So, I'd like to help you out with two case studies. Here is a tale of two companies and how they handled the competition. The first took a company-first approach while the second took a user-first approach. It goes like this... Company-First: The Rise & Fall of Google+ Google+...
