Picture this: you're a Designer, Developer, or PM and you're knee-deep in your daily grind of trying to improve your Product, but no matter how much you do, it feels like you're running in place. You and your teammates are stuck in this limbo where you struggle to see how the time and effort you're putting in impacts the big stuff—profit, customers, and your sanity. It's frustrating, right? Everyone has different ideas of what's happening and what to do next, but there are no clear signals you can rely on. Your roadmaps turn into battlegrounds, OKRs feel like just another checklist, and everyone's second-guessing each other while the grind continues. You want to see how it all makes sense and feel more confident in each other's decisions. You wonder if there's a better way. There is. Effectively using metrics and scorecards is a superpower. ​In this course, instead of sitting through a bunch of lectures with little time to go deeper, you will participate. You will identify the metrics that you can directly influence and connect them with statistics to the metrics that matter at your company. It's not just about learning what metrics to track or how to align with your leadership; it's about transforming the way you think about your role as an individual and the potential to drive real change with your teammates. You will learn how designers, developers, and PMs work together at companies like Apple, Google, and Zillow to visualize, gather, and interpret metrics to drive product strategy. ​We'll ensure you do this ethically. If you want to show the impact of what you do without changing who you are, this course is for you. More than a live workshop!👋 Live practice sessions &amp; office hours📺 On-demand videos &amp; resources💪 Bite-sized independent challenges👯‍♀️ Community chat &amp; support
