You’d be surprised how many internal product teams are not evidence-based.


Not at all, I'd say most of them aren't.

What I found surprising, is how many executive teams at Fortune 500 companies were also not evidence-based.

When making decisions with hundreds of millions of dollars, many executives I've seen still just do what "feels good" to them.


Sad state of affairs.


I think a lot of people wouldn’t be too surprised.


Why?


I think both of your "Why?" posts can be answered by the viewpoint of the people you question, which would seem to be pessimism based on experience. In the parent to this "Why?" post the assumption is that HN readers are similarly pessimistic, which most of the comments in the subthread to your original statement that people would be surprised seems to bear out.


Thanks


At this point, after 25 years, I'd be surprised to find one that is.


Why?
