When to Use

Use this method when a team needs to systematically choose the right type of experiment to test assumptions, especially when facing uncertainty about which validation approach is most suitable.

How It Works

Solves: Uncertainty about which validation method to use, leading to wasted time and resources on ineffective experiments.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow these steps to facilitate this method
  1. 1

    Step 1: Identify key assumptions using an assumption mapping exercise. (10 min)

  2. 2

    Step 2: For each assumption, work through the Experiment Picker questions as a team. (20 min)

  3. 3

    Step 3: Discuss the experiment recommendations generated by the tool and select the most appropriate one. (10 min)

Facilitator Tips
  • Encourage open discussion and diverse perspectives when answering the Experiment Picker questions.
  • Ensure the team understands the rationale behind each experiment recommendation.
Variations
  • Adapt the questions in the Experiment Picker to better suit the specific context or industry.
  • Use the tool individually and then compare results as a team.
