How Small Experiments Improve Team Processes

Every team runs on processes that started as someone's best guess and hardened into routine. The defaults rarely get tested because changing them feels like a bigger commitment than keeping them. What if the commitment were two weeks instead of permanent? Merziyah Poonawala, Principal Product Manager at MFP Services, shares her approach to running small, reversible experiments on team processes. She walks through two real examples with different outcomes, one that stuck and one that sent the team back to the original with a clearer understanding of why it worked. Merziyah previously served as Senior Product Manager at Def Method, building and refining product team operations across client engagements.
