Furthermore, clear testing criteria must be established in order to measure success or failure of the product before it launches in full.In this session we will go over what an effective MVP should have. |

However, many product teams struggle with product metrics — common mistakes include not identifying key metrics, choosing the wrong metrics, or not having systems in place to track metrics. In this session, attendees will learn the different types of product; how to select the right metrics for their product; and how to avoid some of the common mistakes. They will also have a chance to use what they learn to come up with (or improve) metrics for their products and get expert feedback. |
