We recently attended the Agile2022 conference put on by the Agile Alliance and wanted to share our conversations with a few of the speakers and attendees. This episode is a conversation with Dan Vacanti, an author and speaker in the product development world, and Chris Shinkle, SEP’s Director of Innovation. We asked Dan some follow-up questions to expand on his talk from earlier in the conference.
To illustrate how we interpret data, Dan used a story about Wilt Chamberlin’s record breaking total points in a single basketball game. Dan emphasizes that all data have noise and it’s easy to mistake noise for signal.
Note: The audio for this is not our normal in studio quality, so thanks for bearing with us.
