What is “Field Testing”?

“Any engineer that doesn’t need to wash his hands at least three times a day is a failure.”Shoichiro Toyoda, former chairman of the Toyota Motor Corporation

Key Points:

  • Field Testing means creating, using and iterating your offering before offering it to customers.
  • Field Testing is a critical step in the Iteration Cycle, helping you find flaws in your offering.
  • The purpose of Field Testing is to minimize risk, by making sure that the offering works before trying to sell it.

Questions for Consideration:

  • Do you use what you make every day?
  • How can you expose your offer to the rigors of field testing before and after it’s made available to your customers?
