Especially for startups with a small user base. Not many users means that getting to stat sig will take longer (if at all). Sometimes you just need to trust your design/product sense and assert that some change you’re making is better and push it without an experiment. Too often people use experimentation for CYA reasons so they can never be blamed for making a misstep | ||

100% this. I’ve seen people get too excited to A/B test everything even when it’s not appropriate. For us, changing prices was a common A/B test when the relatively low number of conversions meant the tests took 3 months to run! I believe we’ve moved away from that, now. The company has a large user base, it’s just SaaS doesn’t have the same conversion # as, say, e-commerce. |
