Experiments Calendar
Visual display of all scheduled and active tests on a timeline.
Calendar Purpose
The calendar shows all experiments with filled start and end dates — both active hypotheses and completed ones from the archive. This helps:
- See the team's experiment load
- Avoid overlapping tests on the same audience
- Plan resources and priorities
- Keep the team informed about current experiments
Experiments are displayed with color markers depending on status: scheduled, in progress, completed, archived.
How Experiments Get into the Calendar
A hypothesis appears in the calendar automatically after adding start and end dates. Changing dates updates the calendar instantly.
To add a hypothesis to the calendar:
- Open the hypothesis in the Hypotheses section
- Click the "Schedule" button
- Specify start and end dates in the modal window
- Save
The hypothesis will be displayed as a card on the timeline.
Calendar Navigation
Navigate to Calendar via the sidebar menu. You'll see a Gantt chart with experiments:
Left part (list): List of all experiments and hypotheses with dates. Each row contains the experiment name with a status color marker.
Right part (timeline): Calendar with horizontal bars showing the period of each experiment.
Navigation: Click on an experiment name in the list — the Gantt chart will automatically scroll to that experiment's dates on the timeline.
Planning Parallel Tests
The calendar helps see which experiments are running simultaneously. This is critically important if:
- Tests affect the same audience (risk of mutual influence)
- Team is limited in resources to support experiments
- Need to coordinate launches with marketing activities
Recommendations:
- Avoid parallel tests changing the same UI element
- Space out experiments over time if they affect the same funnel stage
- Use the calendar to discuss priorities with the team
