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:

It’s about getting sh*t done in a world where no one agrees on anything. You’ve been there. Stakeholder meetings where opinions fly, decisions stall, and somehow, you’re tasked with making it all make sense. What is Facilitative Leadership? Facilitative leadership is about leading without authority. It’s not about being the loudest voice in the room...

Designing an AI-Powered Automation System by Jeff Humble Dear Reader, This week, I want to share something I use behind the scenes. I want to share something very nerdy that I've been working on 🤓 It's an automation system that I'm using to experiment with AI. If you've ever used a tool like Zapier, then you might like this sort of thing. I built it with Discord and Activepieces, and it's completely free. It looks like this: Here are some of the use cases: Work Automation - a productivity...

Women Kicking over a ladder

Leadership Isn’t a Ladder—It’s a Leap By Hannah Baker Dear Reader, Most people think of leadership as a ladder: start as an individual contributor (IC), climb step by step, and eventually land at the top. My journey was far from that. I never had a traditional design job or a managerial title handed to me. Instead, I jumped straight into founding and leading a business—without a roadmap, a role model, or even a clear sense of what leadership was supposed to look like. It wasn’t always smooth....
