Corporate Agility. Transparency correlates to agility (Does your CEO know how many tests you ran last month?). Map out each lifecycle stage and variations, and name each. Embed blog videos hosted on facebook so you can track consumption and advertise to them. In an A/A test the distribution of p-values is random.

Lean manufacturing , agile software development , and Theory of Constraints are all examples of this idea in action. But notice how many hypotheses are baked into this supposedly simple scenario: we believe we have already solved the distribution problem for our product (or else how could customers try it?). I understand this fear.

For example, think of a time when you’ve had to decide between sticking to your A/B test design —namely, the prescribed sample size —and making a decision using what appears to be obvious, or at least very telling, test data. 1, and the host, who knows what’s behind the doors, opens another door, say No. You pick a door, say No.

Our tests suite takes nine minutes to run (distributed across 30-40 machines). Heck, thats what it says right there in the agile manifesto. In a lot of cases, thats just a fancy name for revenue or profit, but not always. The high level of our process is dead simple: Continuously integrate (commit early and often). We made it.

Some of them are probably still cursing my name, because - lets face it - PHP can be pretty painful. This made it easier for ISPs to offer PHP hosting on shared servers, too. Almost every PHP-based website is burdened with ugly URLs that contain the name of the file that implements each page. As a language, its inelegant.

Imagine you want to store data about customers, each of whom has "last name" field in your database. The problem should be familiar to anyone who plays Scrabble: not all letter are equally likely to be used as the first letter of someones name. Give each entity a name. For example, consider this simple scheme.

Now, in some situations, this over-selling would lead to a secondary problem, namely, that customers would realize they had been duped and refuse to re-subscribe. Because they have no presence in the market, they have to find distribution channels to bring in customers. Go on an agile diet quickly. Great post! Expo SF (May.

In talking with Mary Poppendieck about it, she said that the Chief Engineer role at 3M was called a "Product Champion" The name is less important than understanding the depth of competence that this person has, and what it takes to build it. There are some good anecdotes about Chief Engineers in the Toyota Product Development Book.
