Investigating a Drop in User Engagement
What caused this dip in engaged users?
Prior Hypothesis
• Holiday
• Broken Feature/App
• Error in Data Recording Script
• One Time Marketing Event
• Etc…
User Growth on Yammer Platform
Growth Rates
look normal.
High on
weekdays and
low on
weekends
Engagement of Old Users
Engagement By Device
Major Engagement Drop for Mobile
Users
Zooming in on Mobile Users
Further Exploration
It seems the issue is with the mobile app related to long-time user
retention. Possible issues can be:
1. Mobile app has become too heavy with new features and it
crashes
2. Re-engagement Emails that were sent for retaining users are not
been viewed on mobile clearly
3. A bug in recording data in mobile
4. Etc …

Editor's Notes

  • #16 1. One of the easiest things to check is growth, both because it’s easy to measure and because most companies (Yammer included) track this closely already. In this case, you have to make it yourself, though. You’ll notice that nothing has really changed about the growth rate—it continues to be high during the week, low on weekends:
  • #17  Since growth is normal, it’s possible that the dip in engagement is coming from existing users as opposed to new ones. One of the most effective ways to look at this is to cohort users based on when they signed up for the product. This chart shows a decrease in engagement among users who signed up more than 10 weeks prior:
  • #18 The understanding that the problem is localized to older users leads us to believe that the problem probably isn’t related to a one-time spike from marketing traffic or something that is affecting new traffic to the site like being blocked or changing rank on search engines. Now let’s take a look at various device types to see if the problem is localized to any particular product:
  • #20 So it’s likely that there’s a problem with the mobile app related to long-time user retention. At this point, you’re in a good position to ask around and see if anything changed recently with the mobile app to try to figure out the problem. You might also think about what causes people to engage with the product.
