For an onboarding screen with too many choices, should I build a complete plan first or test one small slice? I have limited time and I do not want throwaway work.
I stopped guessing about an onboarding screen with too many choices
Not magic wording, just enough context and a clear definition of done. Easy to adapt.
Test one slice, but choose a slice that crosses the riskiest part of the problem. A tiny easy demo will only prove the easy part.
Use this decision rule:
- If reversing the choice is cheap, try it.
- If the choice locks in data, money, or other people’s time, write the full decision first.
- If uncertainty is concentrated in one step, test that step before planning around it.
For an onboarding screen with too many choices, make the first test produce evidence you can compare, not just something that looks complete.
That distinction between a small slice and an easy slice is useful.
