93: How To Show Quantifiable Results – Even If You Don’t Have The Numbers

This episode is a follow-on to last week’s.

Andy Bowden asked the following on LinkedIn a few weeks ago:

Do you show your value through quantifiable results? If so, how? If not, why not?

Many of us struggle coming up with numbers that reflect what our employers seek from us.

In last week’s episode I went off on a big tangent about how our brains are great for decision making with limited, qualitative data. (Which is good since that’s mostly what we get as product managers.)

In this episode, I try to actually answer the original question.

Let me know how I did!
