Calling all small business owners... what's driving your business!?

"How will we know if we were wrong" is a great question to ask but often shot down by "we will ship it and then measure user response." You have to be prepared for the next question: how long will it take? How much time before it's out in front of people, how much time to gather the responses, identify that there is a problem, and slot the fix into our roadmap? How much revenue will we lose, how many developer-hours wasted, on something that could have been learned with a wireframe and an Amazon gift card? The value of research comes not only from *learning* but from *feedback loops.* Until you learn to discuss it in those terms, your impact as a designer will be limited. 

Jeff Eaton and I have been talking a lot about "the observability problem." Our thing is content strategy how changes to content can be evaluated, but the overall approach applies to design and development too. Feedback loops have to be defined, and optimally, don't wait for something to be published, they happen throughout the process. Reading Pavel Samsonov's post and replies has made me appreciate that the "substance" we work with most often at Autogram is content — the pressure to "publish" isn't as all consuming as the all-consuming focus on "shipping." While there are content teams that are measured by how much they publish, few teams are encouraged to publish fast and edit later. If this is a topic that interests you, go see Jeff speak about "Observable Content: Planning and building an ROI feedback loop" at the #UniversalCMSummit hosted by dotCMS in Montreal next week! https://lnkd.in/eWNBdNCi
