The Black Mirror Test – Roisi Proven on The Product Experience [Mind the Product]


Roisi ProvenRoisi Proven is a true product person: she has a penchant for imagining the worst, which she’s turned into a superpower to put all of her product decisions through a rigorous ethics test.  That’s useful – but she’s also found a way for you to engage your team in a creative way, using the model of the show Black Mirror, in an effort to make better decisions.

Quote of the Episode

The point is to get as evil as possible, and not hold back, and not think about the feelings of others, it’s just about being really harsh about what your product could be used for, and then putting it into a little dystopian future that you create.
