Validation Handbook

What is this canvas for?
The “Experiment Card” helps you frame your experiments and focus on what really
matters. It’s crucial to define the success criteria so that you can decide
whether or not to repeat, pivot, or implement.

Step-by-step process
 * Step 1: For the assumptions you previously selected with the team,
   individually complete the experiment cards that you printed before hand. Tip:
   Check out the Experiment toolbox
   [https://www.lbstudio.sk/blog/experiment-toolbox] (15 min)
 * Step 2: Present filled-in experiment cards and write down feedback on sticky
   notes (10 min).
 * Step 3: For each assumption, merge your individual work into one experiment.
   (15 min).
 * Step 4: Wrap-up by reviewing the next steps, roles and responsibilities. (10
   min).

Experiment Card

What is this canvas for?
We created the assumption mapper canvas to help you frame your learning goal,
brainstorm assumptions and prioritise the riskiest ones.

Step-by-step process
Define your learning goal
 * Step 1: Individually write down the most important questions or problems you
   need answers for. Example: Will people use this feature? How should we build
   it? (5 min).
 * Step 2: Share your questions and problems and build on top of them (15 min).
 * Step 3: Merge your questions into one or two learning goals. If you have many
   of them, prioritise the most important ones and keep the others for later (5
   min).

Map out assumptions
 * Step 1: Individually write down 2-4 key assumptions linked to your learning
   goal previously defined (10 min).
 * Step 2: Share them on the assumption mapper and build on each other’s
   assumptions (15 min).
 * Step 3: Rank each assumption from the riskiest to less risky ones.  (15 min)
 * Step 4: Focus on the riskiest assumptions, and agree with the team which one
   of them you will test first (10 min).

Assumption Mapper Canvas

What is this handbook for?
It is often hard to think about how something could be tested. The experiment
toolbox gives you 30 experiments to pick from. For each experiment, there is a
description as well as criteria to help you decide if it is the one you need.

In this handbook
 * 30 experiments ideas: We combined 30 experiments to help you validate your
   hypotheses. It goes from the traditional survey to less known techniques such
   as “Imposter Judo” or “Picnic on the graveyard”.
 * How to pick the best experiment: We created a system that helps you to
   determine what is the most suitable experiment depending on the stage you are
   in and what type of assumption you’re trying to validate.
