Course overview
You've been focusing on the wrong data skills.
When people talk about "learning data", they usually mean "learning to analyze the data you already have". But what if you don't even have the necessary data to begin with, because you didn't make the right decisions as you were building your products?
In my experience building products over a decade, I've made and dealt with mistakes around data that hinder product development. Yes, it happens even at Meta 😱
In this 3-week course, we will go back to the fundamentals, tear down the jargon, and deeply understand the data structure behind your products. You'll learn to ask the right questions and put the right constraints to ensure your product is set up for success.
Each session will include hands-on exercises where you can put the things you just learn into practice. I put a limit of maximum 15 students/cohort to ensure high-quality interactions.
