### Lean Project Management Avoid overcomplication at the outset. I recommend: - **[Linear](https://linear.app/)** — lightweight, dev-friendly task tracking. - **[Notion](https://www.notion.com/)** — docs, documentation, wikis, and internal notes/planning - **[Trello](https://trello.com/)** — for solo, small teams, and Kanban-friendly. Stick to weekly goals or short sprints, customer-driven priorities, and ruthless focus. Don’t get bogged down in process or what-ifs. ![[Screenshot 2025-08-19 at 20.19.03.png]] ### Fast and Functional Design I suggest: - **[Figma](https://www.figma.com/)** for fast, functional interface design and concepts. - **[Tailwind UI](https://tailwindcss.com/plus), [Ant Design](https://ant.design/),** or **[Magic UI](https://magicui.design/)** for pre-built components. - **Figma’s** [First Draft AI](https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/23955143044247-Use-First-Draft-with-Figma-AI) to generate mockups from text prompts. ![[Screenshot 2025-08-19 at 20.19.24.png]] Pixel-perfect design can come later. Focus on utility, feedback loops, and speed. ### Customer Research I’d start talking to customers as soon as you have them. Use: - **[Google Form](https://docs.google.com/forms/u/0/)** or **[Tally](https://tally.so/)** to quickly issue surveys and feedback requests. - Schedule interviews with customers over **[Google Meet](https://meet.google.com/landing)** and record sessions for qual data. Workspace organizations have access to transcripts for Meet calls, but you can plug any transcription service into Meet and it should work fine. - Generate automated surveys using **[ChattySurvey](https://chattysurvey.com/)** - Use these interview summaries to tag key insights, identify pain points, and spot emerging trends. - Collect feedback fast — grab user chats, feedback forms, analytics, and web chatter. - **[Dovetail](https://dovetail.com/)** is a great option for automating this step. ![[Screenshot 2025-08-19 at 20.19.47.png]] ### Experimentation - Use **[Amplitude](https://amplitude.com/)** or **[Statsig](https://www.statsig.com/)** Some tips to make A/B testing work: - Start small and test early. - Change one variable per test — a headline, a button color, a pricing tier. - Test onboarding flows, product features, email subject lines, pricing strategies — anything that affects user behavior. Focus on outcomes. - Don’t wait for statistical perfection. A/B testing helps you make more informed decisions with limited resources. It replaces guesswork with signal. ![[Screenshot 2025-08-19 at 20.20.15.png]]
