| Role | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Product Manager | Required | Understands the concept of A/B testing and its role in product decisions. Knows the difference between A/B tests and multivariate tests. Can formulate a hypothesis for a simple experiment. |
| Technical Product Manager | Required | Understands A/B testing principles and their application for product decisions. Knows how to formulate a hypothesis for an experiment considering platform technical constraints. Can describe basic test success metrics. |
| Role | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Product Manager | Required | Independently designs A/B tests: determines sample size, duration, and metrics. Works with tools (Optimizely, Google Optimize, VWO). Analyzes results considering statistical significance. |
| Technical Product Manager | Required | Independently designs A/B tests with sample size calculation and statistical significance. Considers technical dependencies when splitting traffic — caching, CDN, server-side rendering. Works with Optimizely, LaunchDarkly or similar tools. |
| Role | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Product Manager | Required | Builds an experimentation culture within the product team. Designs complex multivariate tests. Defines the quarterly experiment strategy, prioritizing hypotheses by potential impact. |
