The importance of an experimental mindset and assumption testing

It is crucial for product teams to adopt an experimental mindset and engage in assumption testing. This involves going beyond simply learning the right skills and focusing on building rigor around experimentation. Testing assumptions helps teams make better judgments and avoid building the wrong things. Assumptions can be tested by breaking down ideas into their underlying assumptions and finding ways to test each specific assumption. This approach allows teams to make faster, more informed decisions and continuously learn and improve.
