Why Your Tests Are Getting Blocked ft. Gertrud Vahtra

Description

Your tests keep on getting blocked. You're frustrated, shaking your fist at the screen, calling everyone a doo-doo head. We've all been there. It sucks. But on the heels of Gertrud Vahtra giving a talk at Experiment Nation on how to help getting alignment on testing by running workshops, I HAD to have her on the podcast to go deeper into this topic.


We got into:
- Are your test approval rates too high? Too low? What does that mean for your experimentation program?


- How to appropriately redirect stakeholders to not disrupt current tests in-flight while also keeping them engaged in the process


- Where being passive aggressive CAN be helpful (and Gertrud DEFINITELY approves of this, and Shiva isn't making it up)
