Communication with Stakeholders on Experimentation

When discussing experimentation with stakeholders, it is essential to focus on managing risks and the degree of certainty they seek in decisions. Instead of delving into complex statistical details, emphasize the level of confidence needed for a specific course of action. Tailoring the conversation around risk tolerance, investment requirements, and potential outcomes can help stakeholders grasp the significance of experimental results without drowning them in technical jargon.
