PopcornFlow
summary
Claims that continuous micro-changes beat big scary transformations by running small, safe-to-fail experiments on a visible board. Shows a concrete PopcornFlow seven-step decision cycle (problems → options → experiments → review → next) used weekly by teams that run ~five experiments/week, capture options with the rule of three, and iterate until product‑market fit. Gives measured results (a 17.4% conversion on a kid’s comic MVP), examples from teams and an Italian automaker, and tools: experiment tickets, expectations vs reality, and short reviews that actually change behavior.
