Turn initiatives into testable hypotheses with measurable success metrics
by deanpetersFree
Description
epic-hypothesis is a skill that frames a major initiative as a testable hypothesis before roadmap, discovery or delivery planning. It uses an if-then structure that states the action or solution, the target beneficiary, the expected outcome and how you will validate success. Making the assumptions explicit is the point. The skill defines lightweight experiments, which it calls tiny acts of discovery, and sets measurable success criteria before a full build starts. The result gives a team a shared bet to test instead of a scope to deliver. It fits cases where leadership has approved a big initiative and nobody can say what would prove it wrong, or where an epic needs a real validation method rather than a delivery plan. You pass the initiative or epic idea as the argument. The estimated time is 15 to 20 minutes, and the skill sits in the PM artifacts theme of the product-manager-skills repository on GitHub.…
