Making Better Product Decisions Using The Confidence Meter

“Product decisions are crucial for the success of our companies, yet we frequently get them wrong. We rely too much on opinions, intuition, rank and consensus and too little on facts and data. Even if we do have data, we don’t always interpret it correctly, or we may read too much into it.
