Research Planning
@MandaLaceyS
#AgileOTB
Write
specific
hypotheses
to narrow
scope.
@MandaLaceyS
#AgileOTB
If we [do, build, provide x thing],
then [these people]
will [some desirable outcome].
We’ll know when [actionable metrics].
@MandaLaceyS
#AgileOTB
PROTIP
The more specific your
hypothesis, the easier it will be
to plan research
AND come to conclusions.

Franken-

Integration

everyone
in
sessions

If you set a specific, targeted
hypothesis, analyzation is easier.
@MandaLaceyS
#AgileOTB
1) Stay the
course.
@MandaLaceyS
#AgileOTB
2) PIVOT!
PIVOT!
PIVOT!
