Shiva also answered questions from some of our listeners/network:
- Amrdeep Athwal: When do you think an organization is mature enough to require or need to start investing in building their own tools e.g. Their own analytics, testing or insight tools?
- Daniela Marquez: If not CRO, what field would Shiva spend his time in and why?
- Ben Labay: Do you enjoy running programs (metrics = test velocity and results) more vs actively shaping the program itself (metrics = program efficiency)?
