Taking A/B test results at face value goes against the fundamentals of experimentation.
A few weeks ago, I was in a meeting with a very senior product manager, with about decade and a half of experience in PM. He proudly mentioned that the company runs hundreds of A/B tests and experiments every day. They take the results of the experiments and use it to tweak the product.
Whether you are a startup founder or a legacy MNC trying to disrupt your existing processes, hiring a Product Manager can be a daunting task. There are no Ivy League courses you can hire from without a second thought. Also, who is a PM really?
It is easy for founders, CXOs, and commercial leaders to blur the lines between a product leader and a technical leader. Most outcomes of both roles appear to be common, so it isn’t surprising.
