There are clear indicators of successful experimentation programs. The biggest of these is how an organization manages the documentation aspect of their experimentation program. Experimentation documentation cannot be an afterthought. There must be a clear strategy and plan behind it to ensure it is valid and useful to the organization. A spreadsheet is not a strategy. Neither is hooking up random project management tools together with APIs in your spare time. What will separate a lot of organizations running mediocre and poor experimentation programs from those that do it well is how they view and structure documentation as part of their experimentation process.

The challenge with organizations trying to grow their experimentation program across the wider business is it faces an uphill challenge to get a disparate group of people to run experiments at the same level of quality. Often, there is no visibility of the quality of the experiments run. This is why created the Experiment Health Score.

Experimentation program documentation – the process from idea to result – are (or rather should be) a significant part of an organization’s experimentation program. It is something we at Effective Experiments have been talking about since our inception in 2014 when the idea of tracking experiments seemed like an alien…

Experimentation teams could be changing their hypothesis or data after an experiment is run. Here's how to stop this malpractice in your team.

Building an experiment roadmap can be tricky but can also be highly beneficial for your organisation and by the same token; having a badly maintained roadmap can be incredibly costly.  A poorly designed roadmap is, for all intent and purpose, a poorly designed experimentation program. The roadmap is…

A hamster on a hamster wheel can run for long periods of time but at the end of the day, it doesn’t go anywhere beyond the confines of that place. Experimentation programs are stuck on their own kind of hamster wheel. They do good work and run lots of tests…

When evaluating an Experimentation Program, one must first start evaluating individual experiments. As part of our Experimentation Program Governance series of articles, we will show you how to implement an Experimentation Scorecard to accurately measure the quality of your experiments.

Organizations want to grow experimentation but how they do it is causing it to fail. In this blog post, we reveal the reasons why they fail to expand experimentation and show you how to do it the right way.

Conversion rate uplift is a vanity metric and is causing CRO teams to work in wrong ways to hit targets.

Experimentation programs in organisations are stuck on a hamster wheel as a result of decisions made in the setup and rollout of testing across the organisation. Growing a culture of experimentation is the new "in thing" for a lot of organisations as they believe (rightly so) that without it, their quest to create an experimentation first mindset will run out of steam.

Democratizing experimentation is key to helping drive innovation in an organization. But it needs to be done right. There are 4 questions to answer when planning a rollout of testing capabilities.
