Learn to Design, Analyze, and Scale A/B Tests that Drive Growth

This weekend-intensive workshop is built for data scientists who want to go beyond just “running experiments” — and start shaping product strategy through evidence-based decision-making.

Over two immersive days, you’ll gain hands-on experience in designing robust experiments, analyzing results with rigor, and translating findings into measurable business impact. Through live lectures, breakout discussions, and case-based exercises, you’ll learn not just how to run experiments, but why each design choice matters — from hypothesis framing to metric selection and trade-offs.

This program is fast-paced and practical, tailored for mid-level professionals who want to level up their experimentation craft and drive product outcomes with clarity and confidence.

What you’ll learn

Master advanced A/B testing to drive data-informed product decisions and measurable growth.

  • Build hypotheses grounded in product intent and measurable behavior.

  • Define primary, secondary, and guardrail metrics for decision-making.

  • Perform power and sample-size analysis to ensure test quality.

  • Spot peeking, selection bias, Simpson’s paradox, and other pitfalls.

  • Apply mitigation techniques like clean bucketing and pre-registration.

  • Diagnose flawed experiments through practical case reviews.

  • Apply t-tests, non-parametric tests, and alternative methods.

  • Interpret confidence intervals, effect sizes, and uncertainty.

  • Compare methods across varying data types and distributions.

  • Use sequential testing frameworks safely.

  • Apply variance reduction techniques like CUPED.

  • Understand multi-arm bandits and Bayesian A/B testing.

  • Build concise decision summaries highlighting insights and risks.

  • Convert statistical results into product-focused narratives.

  • Use storytelling to influence PMs, engineers, and leadership.

Testimonials

  • I recently took the A/B Testing for Data Scientists & Product Managers course led by Manisha and Banani. The content was well-structured with clear frameworks and engaging case studies that made it easy to apply concepts. I especially valued the introduction to advanced topics like heterogeneity in treatment effects which go beyond the basics.
