Demystifying QA: Tools to Improve Your Online Customer Experience | Learn with Mailchimp (Skillshare)

A successful business needs a strong foundation! Join Mailchimp's Alianor Chapman for a free 25-minute class on testing and improving online experiences that help you — the freelancer, small business owner, and entrepreneur — achieve your business goals.

This class focuses on Quality Assurance Testing: ways to catch errors in your digital products and optimize them for success. Oftentimes, companies think of QA as an expensive luxury. In this class, Alianor shows that it's a necessity, and something that everyone can (and should) do for a healthy business.
You'll learn:

  • How QA affects your bottom line
  • How to effectively test your digital product — e.g. an e-commerce store, website, or app
  • Testing methods
  • How to customize a QA process for your business

Conduct a QA test of a website that you use frequently (this can be your own site or online store), and record the testing results in your Project Workspace.
Feel free to use the "framework" template attached and below to get started!

Validating product ideas with interviews for Product Managers (Skillshare)

CS: Design & Product

I designed this course for Product Managers who have new product or feature ideas and would like to talk to customers and learn whether their idea will fly. This is the first and ultimate question in product development: do customers need my product? Do they need it so dearly that they would actually pay for it? So, how do you figure this out before actually building the product? Well, user research has your back covered. You can find out whether customers need a product or a feature even before you wrote a single line of code.

Know Your Audience - Bring Your Personas to Life! (Skillshare)

CS: Design & Product

User Personas - high-level descriptions of your target audience's needs and challenges - are becoming mainstays for software product teams. But like many other requirements documentation, they can often feel flat, overly generic, and nearly useless once development has actually begun. In becoming “just another form to fill out,” your User Personas have lost connection with their original purpose: to help product teams build connection and empathy with your primary customer base, and in doing so provide the grounding basis for fast and deliberate decision making.
