The What & Why of Continuous Discovery

The What & Why of Continuous Discovery

PDMA St. Louis | June 8, 2021

Most product teams are starting to adopt discovery best practices (e.g. interviewing customers, usability testing, experimenting). However, many of us are still stuck in a project world. We do research to kick off a project, we usability test right before we hand off to engineers, and our primary means for experimenting is a/b testing. These methods are better than nothing, but the best product teams are shifting from a project mindset to a continuous mindset. In this talk, we’ll explore the key differences between project- based discovery and continuous discovery and give your team a clear benchmark to aspire to.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the difference between project-based discovery and continuous discovery.
  • Learn the habits of a successful continuous discovery team.
  • Get a clear benchmark to aspire to and measure progress against.
