Layoffs, hiring freezes, and tighter budgets rarely change what is expected of you. You still need to ship a product that works and that customers like, with fewer people and less time.
This guide is for product teams working through an economic downturn. It uses a playful survival theme to walk through nine obstacles, from thin resources and budget cuts to project delays and customer churn, and shows how delta testing helps you do more with less.

A survival kit for user tests
A kit of tools for amplifying your tests, from recruiting testers and planning a project to prioritizing feedback, integrations, and dashboards.
Nine obstacles, step by step
