Measure What Matters
John Doerr
This is an incredibly important lesson for all designers. ***Your game - through the theme, back-of-box copy, artwork, everything - is making a promise to the players.*** Make sure that the actual game matches that promise. Don’t undercut your own vision.
"Is It Cake?" Mistakes
Geoff Engelstein
I realized there’s an underlying structure to discovery that we can use to guide our work. It starts with defining a clear outcome—one that sets the scope for discovery. From there, we must discover and map out the opportunity space—this is what gives structure to the ill-structured problem of reaching our desired outcome. It’s the all-important problem framing that opens up the solution space. And finally, we need to discover the solutions that will address those opportunities and thus drive our desired outcome. It sounds simple, but this structure helps us know what to do when. I encourage teams to visualize it using an opportunity solution tree (OST).
