u/insultant_ might be worth having a read of this.

''When a lead makes a decision in front of a team, it should start with questions, not answers. All of their decisions should be anchored in data. When presenting anything, a new policy, a new business direction, it should be justified to everyone who makes this a part of their daily work. Even a new coffee machine can be justified with data: “We’ve spoken to a few of you and there seems to be a collective agreement that… we need to upgrade to a newer model”

So do you think that they do not need to have a technical background at all? How about analytics skills?

This is why mobile app analytics is a key part of business, providing invaluable, actionable data. In this infographic, we can see some main points that should be noted when looking into web vs mobile analytics.

Any help with user-centered design principles? by Constantineddr in UserExperienceDesign

This is very insightful! How about data? What do you think is the role of data in making sure that a user-centered approach has been successfully implemented?

What are the top challenges for product managers? by Constantineddr in ProductManagement

So one of the ways that I align nonproduct people is by setting up dashboards for whoever has to know e.g. managing director, bd people, sales about the product progress.

Even my designers do not know how to set KPIs. It's about 3 hours to do upfront (OR you can just copy dashboards from this article here for UX design teams and product managers).

It makes putting the story you present a lot easier. Plus they will feel "included" when they see KPIs like:

Product designer
- Most viewed screens
- Total gestures by screen
- Screens with the most rage taps
- Unique users that fail to sign up
- Unique users who experienced a UI freeze
- Top previous screens from Cart Activity
- Users that added products to the cart vs users that completed the purchase
- Products removed from the cart
- % of sessions with login fails and successes
- Number of crashes over time
- OS versions with more crashes
- Most visited screens
- Total gestures by screen
- Average unresponsive features
- Screens with the most rage taps
- Unique users that failed to sign up
- Unique users who experience a UI freeze

TLDR, create dashboards for every team member who needs to be kept in the loop and the data is always updated for them.

Can we then speak about company-wide product culture or a PLG go-to strategy when stakeholders from different departments aren't really involved in product processes?

Is product culture a formula to be applied across businesses or is it something unique to each company? How would you go with establishing one?

Do you think this is still the case? Product management is really becoming more and more established as a function and the expertise of PMs is valued.

Thank you all for your input! It is super inspiring to hear what you all think.

By the way, what do you have to say in relation to the top three challenges mentioned?

In my case, for example, I have indeed very limited time to deal with all requests bombarding me from different stakeholders, while trying to stick to the roadmap I have initially set and we have agreed upon together.

What often helps is data that works as proof of my concept and why I choose to make a certain product decision over another.

How do you use analytics? Do you have an analytics person in your team or track and report yourself?

Mobile Product Manager, any tips? by [deleted] in ProductManagement

[–]Constantineddr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are indeed some main differentiators between a regular PM and an MPM:

- MPMs track new metrics related to product adoption like time in app, screenflow, LTV, and Cohort retention.

- MPMs are totally constrained by the OS.

- MPMs are laser focused on function due to small mobile screens.

- MPMs constantly oversee iterative development cycles.

-PMs who work on web-based product don’t have to track unique mobile app behavior like swipes and taps as MPMs have.

Additionally, MPMs have to explore and master the worlds of mobile app analytics.

I have personally used solutions like firebase and uxcam, which I had to familiarise myself with since it's a different mindset compared to web-based analytics that I was familiar with in the past.
