With March Madness right around the corner, you’re going to see many spending a great deal of time putting their tournament brackets together. Why does if feel like some of these people spend more time and effort on that than their testing program? We’ve come across many who don’t take their testing program seriously and just slap stuff together. There’s no planning, there’s no deep analysis, and the results show.
What do you do to convince people that to get the most out of a testing program, you just can fly by the seat of your pants and see what happens? Aren’t testing programs supposed to let you move rapidly so you can learn?

33 Tangents - Episode #45 - How Do You Get Experience?
Friday Mar 08, 2019
Friday Mar 08, 2019
At some point in your career, you will face the paradox of needing to gain experience to move your career forward, but no one is willing to giving you a chance because you don’t have the experience. This is often seen early in one’s career when searching for that first or second job out of college. In this scenario, you have very little on the job experience. It is also seen later on in one’s career if they are trying to make a pivot. In this scenario, you have some skills that are transferrable, but other new ones you may need to learn.
This week, Jim, Jason, and Jon tackle the steps one could take in various stages of their career to gain experience and get around this paradox.
THINGS WE MENTIONED
- USBHarpoon Hacking
- USB Condom
- Chris Wareham
- ETSU, Adobe alliance to equip students with leading-edge skills
- Utah.gov Open Data Catalog
- Kaggle
- Kaggle Datasets
- Iris flower dataset (The Data Analysis equivalent of Hello World)

33 Tangents - Episode #42 - Understanding the Customer Journey
Friday Feb 15, 2019
Friday Feb 15, 2019
Many companies still make decisions about their online presence (marketing, webstore, lead generation), about what they want the customer to be and how they want the customer to engage instead of learning what is really going on. How can Analytics help inform who the customer is and how they want engage? This is something that we would have expected 10 years ago, but we still see it today. Why hasn’t this changed? Is it arrogance? Is the data not trusted? Is it something else?

33 Tangents - Episode #40 - When To Give A Customer a Little Tough Love
Friday Feb 01, 2019
Friday Feb 01, 2019
There is a perception that you need to be a “yes person” to have a successful client engagement. In our last episode Jason mentioned that the low barrier to entry in our space is partially responsible for this. In order to have a happy, satisfied client, you need to give them everything that they want, when they want it. In actuality, however, there are times when you need to exercise tough love with a client. This can also be extended to the pre-sales process when dealing with prospects. What forms can tough love take in the context of an engagement or sales? What times require a tough love approach?

Tag Management Systems have greatly improved the flexibility and responsiveness of implementations in recent years. There are many positives to them but this episode is not about that.

In this week’s episode, Jenn, Jason, and Jim focus on the need to have proper governance in place in order to prevent issues and to get the most out of your TMS implementation.
