Your first experiments should take hours, not days or weeks. As you gain evidence, you explore more elaborate methods, running them in a few days. Now, how do you structure your experiments? Here's a 5-step approach
Decide what to test: Write the assumption you will test as an observable behavior - What you believe to happen in reality but lack evidence.
Choose the method: Given your available knowledge, choose the method that can test your assumption as fast as possible, e.g., Survey, Interview, Unmoderated prototype sessions.
Set the sample size: Decide how many users you need to test your assumption.
Establish the Audience: Write as clearly as possible who you need for your experiments to lead to a valid result, e.g., customers that purchased over the last two weeks.
Agree on the success criteria: Before running the experiment, set a success metric, e.g., 5 out of 10 will show the desired behavior.
Collaborating with your product trio (PM, Designer, Developer) is the secret. This approach drives end-to-end commitment.
Use this template to structure your product experiments so you can drop bad ideas fast enough.
