This one-day skills course on product discovery and validation offers hands-on training to participants, enabling them to enhance value creation through practical application of discovery and validation skills in product development. This course covers core skills, equally essential for both greenfield scenarios but also the enhancement of existing products.

🎯 COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Increase user value created by deliberately designing experiments to validate assumptions about user’s needs and wants
• Reduce waste and improve ROI by consciously only investing based on evidence gathered from validation
• Improve organizational collaboration and alignment by engaging with key stakeholders using data instead of opinions
• Unlock creativity by reframing work as problems to solve rather than tasks to execute

📚 COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Identify what assumptions are being made
• Explain what assumptions need to be validated
• Describe the principles used to prioritize which assumptions to validate first
• Use the right data to gather to test the hypothesis
• Explain why a desired signal strength is needed to validate a hypothesis
• Manage your cost for running the experiment based on desired signal quality and confidence level
• Customize a hypothesis to in/validate assumptions
• Define facilitation techniques for a high level of creativity and diversity in solutions
• Analyze the results of your experiments
• Use learnings in your decision-making process

👥 TARGET AUDIENCE

• Project Managers and Team Leaders
