Metrics: Building Products that are Made to Measure

Metrics: Building Products that are Made to Measure

Do you know if your product is "working"? Are you aware of the gaps in your users' experience to take your product to the next level?

In this workshop on metrics, we'll cover:
- Common startup terms such as 'pirate metrics', 'conversion funnel' and what being 'data driven' actually means in your business
- How to take a user journey and create analytics events to track the user through each step of your product
- Actively identify strategies to test and how to document your hypothesis and improve your product

This workshop is to help startup founders who are in flight building their first product.
