In this episode of "How to Product?", ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Arjav Jain⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, the host talks to Shailvi Wakhlu about product analytics. The conversation begins at providing an overview of what product analytics entails and how it impacts the role of a PM. Shailvi then breaks down leading and lagging indicators and explains why each one is important and also provides a way in which you can choose the right ones. The conversation evolves to estimating the impact of a new feature before it's launched - something that we all struggle with. The host then brings up an interesting topic about balancing intuition vs insights through data and Shailvi provides some brilliant insights on that question. The conversation ends with Shailvi providing examples about how data has helped shape or change the strategy of organizations she's worked at and the role data can play there and finally she has some great tips for folks who are looking to break into the PM role.
