A/B Testing Roadmap & Current Initiatives

Research & AnalysisAdded by Jessica Dunbar - PortlandLabsAugust 16, 2024

The A/B Testing roadmap is shaped by collaboration between PortlandLabs, the G9 Team, and the CAT (Content Access Team). The G9 Team provides strategic direction and ensures alignment with Army MWR objectives. Ideas from PortlandLabs and the CAT team are prioritized based on impact and feasibility. The CAT manages content and navigation updates, using testing insights to implement changes. This agile process ensures continuous improvement driven by user feedback and data analysis.
