There’s a lot of hype in startupland about the best way to beta test new products.
At When I Work, we beta tested two new products last year. What we learned during the first release made us more effective in our second, which resulted in two successful product launches and a practical playbook for how to launch better betas.
During this session, we’ll share the battle-tested tools and techniques we used to increase engagement, gather more data and build confidence about where to go next on the journey to a successful commercial product launch.
This session is for the entrepreneur or product team that wants to learn a practical guide to building better betas.
