Epic Hypothesis

Plugin Verified Active

Frame an epic as a testable hypothesis with target user, outcome, and validation.

Purpose

To help product managers and teams manage uncertainty by explicitly stating assumptions and designing lightweight experiments to validate product initiatives before committing to full development.

Features

  • Frames epics as testable hypotheses
  • Includes target user, outcome, and validation measures
  • Defines 'tiny acts of discovery' experiments
  • Provides clear if/then structure
  • Offers anti-patterns and use-case guidance

Use Cases

  • Defining major initiatives before roadmap planning
  • Validating product-market fit for new capabilities
  • Prioritizing backlog items based on validated hypotheses
  • Communicating product bets as experiments, not commitments

Non-Goals

  • Acting as a full feature specification
  • Committing to shipping a feature before validation
  • Focusing solely on output rather than user outcomes
  • Skipping experimental validation in favor of immediate build
