Product-market fit (PMF) is a tricky thing for startups. It’s that sweet spot where the needs of your target market perfectly align with what your product is offering, and if you’re a product manager at an early startup, it’s your job to help your product find that fit. A lot of startups think they have PMF and try to enter the growth phase prematurely — usually due in part due to VC pressure to grow or simply not having a way to measure and validate how strong your PMF is — which can be disastr

A regular cadence of assumption testing helps product teams quickly determine which ideas will work and which ones won’t. It’s one of the highest value activities we can do. And sadly, most product teams don’t do any assumption testing at all. And those that do, don’t do nearly enough. I want to change that. In this article, I’ll cover assumption testing from beginning to end, including: Why should product teams test their assumptions?

Listen to the audio version of this article: [link] Organise the Team around a Product As the name suggests, a product team is focused on a product. This sounds simple enough. But in practice, organising teams around products can be challenging, especially when a company lacks a clear understanding of what a (digital) product is and if it does not embrace a product-led way of working.

Many teams, like sales and marketing, have time-bound goals, like reaching $X in bookings or generating Y leads by a specific date. Product teams are also held to time-bound goals. Empowered product teams, for example, are asked to deliver outcomes each quarter. But sometimes companies take this too far. They ask product teams to deliver specific features by specific dates.

Assumption testing is at the heart of what good continuous discovery teams do week over week. It’s how we evaluate which ideas will work and which won’t. But before we can test our assumptions, we have to identify them. That’s not always as easy as it sounds. Assumptions are beliefs that need to be true in order for our ideas to succeed. The challenge is that we need to be able to see our assumptions before we can test them.

You don’t necessarily need anyone’s permission to get started with continuous discovery. In fact, some steps—like story mapping and identifying your assumptions —don’t even require anyone else to participate. You can easily go through these activities on your own. But at the same time, continuous discovery shouldn’t always be a solo activity. There’s a reason why Teresa often refers to the product trio : Continuous discovery is more effective when you avoid turf wars and bring in different persp
