- 6. Measure or Die Neil McCarthy Ken Pascual
- 7. Who we are Neil McCarthy Product Manager Kenneth Pascual Data Scientist
- 9. Justify features Make decisions Determine success
- 10. HOW DATA HELPS US PRIORITIZE Step 1: Justifying Ideas
- 12. Prioritize • Measurable impact • How much we learn • Progress toward vision
- 13. Last attempt
- 14. A/B test this
- 15. Clues from the past
- 16. Brainstorming
- 17. Idea!
- 18. Does this align with our goals? • Vision: Yammer is a primary communication tool that users use to get work done. • Goal: Grow the number of users that use the product. • Problem: We lose too many potential users in our signup flow.
- 19. How important is this?
- 21. big drop!
- 22. And HALF of our invites come from the signup flow!
- 23. Why justify?
- 24. HOW DATA HELPS US DETERMINE THE SUCCESS OF THE PROJECT Step 2: Determining Success
- 26. What we came up with… If we move the email confirmation step to the end of the signup flow, then more users will make it through the signup flow and more users will be retained.
- 27. A/B Test Results: Moving the email activation step
- 28. A/B Test Results: Moving the email activation step
- 29. Interpretations • Users saw the steps in a different order, and dropped off in similar percentages, BUT – Less users saw the prompt to “check email” because it was at the end. – Thus, less users activated via email. – Thus, less users had the opportunity to engage.
- 30. Why we chose this example
- 31. How do you do this? • Gotta log data! • Choose your own metrics • Data driven vs. data informed • Build your processes around data • How much PMs should know about statistics.
