Book summaries, lessons and take-aways from the books I enjoy.
The Lean Product Playbook by Dan Olsen
The book really helps to solidify my understanding and practice of the Lean Startup principles. To do so, the author provides specific case studies on how to build and articulate hypotheses, form experiments, execute the tests and use metrics and analytics to inform product decisions. Build, Measure, Learn, but to Dan’s point, you can learn a lot without having to build.
Invisible women: When you only design for 50% of the population
We use data to inform our decision because data is factual; unlike opinions or perspectives, but what if the data fails half of the population, female—me, and you.
This book helps me to spot major flaws in the design of our daily things from public bathrooms to car seatbelts. While it is of no fault of any males whose hearts are in the right place, we need more gender-informed data and more women involved in how we design the world.
