The Alternative to Roadmaps

SVPG

I have always loved the General George Patton quote: “Don’t tell people what to do; tell them what you need accomplished, and you’ll be amazed at the results.” Unfortunately, typical roadmaps do just what the General warned against – they tell the team what to do.

ConversionXL

When should you use Multivariate testing, and when is A/B/n testing best? The answer is at once simple and complex. Of course, A/B testing is the default for most people, as it is more common in optimization. But there is a time and a place for multivariate testing (MVT), as well, and it can add a lot of value.
