Join 📚 Felicity's Weekly Book Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Felicity's read, .
One bit of advice I give writers is to see each draft as a hypothesis or experiment: your job is to gather data to test that version of the manuscript and figure out what’s wrong with it. If it fails, it doesn’t mean that you have failed, but only that the current experiment has. So you redesign it. Shift your emphasis off the personal and back toward the product. Perspective is everything!
Write Useful Books

Team Objectives To execute on the product strategy, the leaders need to ensure that each product team has one or two clear objectives they have been assigned (typically quarterly), which spell out the problems they are being asked to solve. These objectives derive directly from the product strategy—it's where insights are turned into action.
There are two tools that should be in every product team’s toolbox—unmoderated user testing and one-question surveys. Unmoderated user-testing services allow you to post a stimulus (e.g., a prototype) and define tasks to complete and questions to answer. Participants then complete the tasks and answer the questions on their own time. You get a video of their work. These types of tools are game changers. Instead of having to recruit 10 participants and run the sessions yourself, you can post your task, go home for the night, and come back the next day to a set of videos ready for you to watch.
