  • Be a master of collecting and analyzing product-level data accurately
  • Understand how to implement and track important product metrics
  • Know how to compare multiple segments of users with distinct traits and consolidate data from multiple users into single profiles

We’ve all heard of them — they’re great for websites and apps with predefined goals and metrics.

But your product is much more complex and often lacks clear targets or paths to success.

This course will demystify your product data and teach you the methods and techniques you need to turn that data into actionable insights.
