Talk description
Title:
Hypothesis Driven Development In Practice
Short synopsis:
Hey, psst!? Are you Continuously Deploying yet? You know everybody is doing it, right? Why? Some to go faster. Some to increase quality. Some because, let’s face it, it’s a really cool buzzword. But let’s talk about what the real reason is. Should be. The control necessary to do Hypothesis Driven Development. Or, as I like to call it: Test First Product Management. With the popularity of Lean Startup, we’ve seen a significant uptake in these kinds of business experiments. But how does it work in practice? We need feature toggles, A/B testing, analysis tools, and more? That sounds difficult. How do we get started today? In this talk I’ll go through some examples, showing how to build a simple system that allows you to start with HDD right now, by coding it right on stage. And I’ll even give some hints on how to structure your process around that along the way.

Long synopsis (optional):
This is my latest iteration in getting experimentation, lean-startup practices, hypothesis driven development, etc. explained and adopted by agile teams. I focus on that because it is an important practice that supports agile principles: iteration, contact with the customer, autonomy of the team, and true multifunctional teams. This instance of that theme goes into practical steps to implement HDD and A/B testing. I give an introduction on how to embed this in your process and formulate an experiment and then focus on how to implement feature toggles, A/B testing for a selected audience, and gathering data to get a result for the hypothesis your working on. A main goal is showing how to get started with all this without a large investment: small steps can get you most of the way. Showing it added to an example e-commerce project in real-time is meant to convey that message.
