Description

John Kresse, Senior Director of Product Management at SoulCycle—and a former college basketball player at Emory 🏀—shares a simple but powerful way to combat overconfidence and make better product decisions.





3 Key Questions to Challenge Assumptions & De-Risk Your Roadmap:





🗣 1. How confident are you in the projected impact? Assign a confidence percentage to ROI estimates.





🗣 2. Why did you give that confidence level? Ensure there’s data backing it up.





🗣 3. What information would increase your confidence? Identify missing evidence and ways to gather it.
