Product Benchmarks: How Do You Stack Up?

Do you know how your product stacks up against the competition? What metrics do you use to measure your product’s performance? Join the PMC and Pendo on January 22nd to learn more about the key role benchmarks and product analytics can play in helping to answer these questions.

Successful product managers measure product usage, track sentiment, and collect feedback systematically. Data drives their decisions. But knowing how their product performance stacks up against their peers has eluded even the most sophisticated PMs, who have had to rely on anecdote – not science. We’re changing that.

The Science and Art of Product Market Fit w/ Mona Akmal of Amperity

 

Large checks are written to invest in products that are deemed to have "product-market fit" - whether that's headcount for a new or existing product within a large company or a brand new startup. As a product manager, you get to have the job to define a product that "fits" - how do you do it? how do you know if you've succeeded? When is the right time to pivot and the right time to double down? We'll explore the data as well as qualitative criteria to define products that customers love and are fiscally viable.
