What’s striking about this year: the brands you expect a lot from are disappointing (spoiler 1: Disney...)

Validation: a wise investment, not an expensive gamble
An idea is often the first step towards a better future, and it’s no different in product development. A backlog full of crystal-clear priorities – epics, stories, bugs, and tickets – is a wealth of ideas for the future. Having the time and budget to actually work all these ideas out is something else altogether. How do you validate an idea without risking a serious chunk of your budget? There are many situations where you would like to present an idea to your target group, just to find out whether it is financially feasible, but you can never be certain that an idea is worth the financial cost of testing. A negative result after testing can be expensive. There are industries that operate at such a scale that a 2% drop can run to the millions. That’s why caution is advised.Read more
