HoA #47: How much Product Discovery Is Enough? Itamar Gilad’s Confidence Meter


Details
Abstract
How much product discovery is enough?
Figuring out what is worth building often feels valuable in and of itself. The problem is that becoming stuck in an endless discovery cycle neither solves your customers’ issues nor contributes to your organization’s sustainability.
Don’t worry; help is on the way in the form of Itamar Gilad’s Confidence Meter!
During the 47th Hands-on Agile session, you will learn how to calculate your confidence level in a product idea with the Confidence Meter by adding evidence. The Confidence Meter tool will then return a number in the range of 0-10, answering a simple question: Will we deliver the expected impact?
