When it comes to usability testing, many are unaware that there are two types of evaluations that can be conducted during the product design and development lifecycle. These are formative and summative usability tests. The main reason why usability tests are important is to find out the effectiveness of the design and to evaluate the ease-of-use of a product.

Windows of opportunity are fleeting. Sometimes there’s only a short amount of time to do something before its benefits diminish. Think of the space race between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Launching a satellite, sending a dog into space, putting a man into orbit, setting foot on the moon. Each achievement was only extraordinary and demonstrated technological achievement if the country did it first.

Introduction. To pay homage, yet modify a quote from football coaching legend Vince Lombardi, “Competing is not a sometime thing; it’s an all the time thing.” Unfortunately, when it comes to the competition, product managers often postpone this important work to be a “sometime thing.” Most product management exercises are little more than creating feature matrices—using columns and rows to compare products to that of their competitors.

The mark of a great user story? Its evolution. A user story is something that takes clearer shape with each iteration. The prerequisite for the iterative creation of a user story is a clear understanding of your users and their motivations. This is non-negotiable — how else will you know that what you’re about to.

Just a few years ago, product management was a function that did not have a clear definition. For many companies, product managers were confused for user experience designers, senior technology leads, or, more controversially, project managers. At best, teams acknowledged that PMs were product owners in the Agile sense, and as such their main deliverable was the product backlog.

A lot of subscription-based businesses are struggling with their trial-to-paid conversions, user activation, and user adoption. Let’s say that you get around 200 trial users every month – but you manage to convert only 20 of them. That’s a 10% trial-to-paid conversion rate. If your average monthly subscription is around $25, that would mean that each month you will add around $500 in your monthly revenue.

Over the last two decades, account-based marketing (ABM) has been both hailed as a surefire win for B2B businesses and written off as little more than an industry buzzword. ABM’s mixed reputation reflects the challenges that companies have faced implementing an account-based approach. Just two years ago, only 29% of marketers reported ABM to be an effective strategy.

Getting stakeholder buy-in for user research can be like talking to a brick wall, except the brick wall isn’t just ignoring you, it’s telling your colleagues you don’t know what you’re talking about, sends texts from their phone while you’re trying to explain something, accuses you of inventing the term “UX” and is somehow in charge of how much money you have on a daily basis.

Inspired from Beanstalk. When one learns to code, the initial steps involve a great deal of experimentation with code writing and debugging. Note that debugging is the routine practice of finding and removing program errors. The learning process usually starts by writing the program and then finding all the software bugs and fixing them. This is a common approach that was originated by software engineers for tackling relatively easy and short-term challenges.
