Flanagan: Growth experiments failing to show metrics in six weeks should be dropped
“If you can't do something in six weeks, it's not worth doing. If you're in growth, right, you actually have to have minimal viable experiment. Figure out if you can do that thing and see a success, what I call an exit metric, but see a success metric after six…”
