Join 📚 Felicity's Weekly Book Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Felicity's read, .
Upon evaluating the main challenges faced by the product management team, I identified a few issues: they had no easy access to data; the strategy and roadmap planning cadences were taking a huge amount of time; and there were no consistent templates across the organization. The product managers were eager to apply their training, but they felt stuck. Product leaders felt stuck, too. They couldn’t reconcile the roadmaps at scale.

Based on this picture, these metrics can help you calibrate your progress:
- The total number of ideas evaluated per quarter (using, at minimum, ICE analysis and goals alignment)
- Number of ideas tested per quarter
- The number of ideas released per quarter
- Total number of tests and experiments conducted per month
- Percent of steps that generated learning (i.e., where we were able to rescore the idea and/or generate useful insights based on the evidence collected)
- Percent of ideas launched at least with a medium Confidence level (per the Confidence Meter)
- Percent of ideas released that generate measurable outcome improvements
The first four metrics are aligned with Linus Pauling’s observation that the way to have good ideas is to test many ideas.
