Quick Intro to KPIs
and Measuring User
Behavior
3
Quick Summary
» KPI = Key Performance Indicator
» Measurements of user behavior you care
about
» Can be quantitative or qualitative
Examples: NPS scores, conversion/sign up
rates, page views, click-through rates, bounce
rates, task completion rates, mentions of
confusion during usability testing, task
abandonment
4
Our Story
5
What did our team care about?
» Favoriting
» Number of search result items
» Read reviews
» Purchase
6
What do these metrics
mean in relation to
one another? Or do we
just want these
numbers to go up?
7
How do we measure
this story? How do we
start to map out
different stories, based
on the data we have?

What we found
Rethinking our KPIs
» Not just thinking in terms of numbers
going up or down
» Also considering ratios/percentage
12
What did we obtain from this effort?
» A better understanding of our users’ story
» Alternative to a persona
» A way to inform prioritization for our
product team
13
Takeaways
14
Work with your
analytics team, or any
analytics resources
you have, to start
exploring these
relationships
15
Pros
» You can get scientific
» You don’t look at metrics in isolation
» Mixed methods = gold
» It doesn’t have to be complex
16
Cons
» It takes time
⋄ BUT: These things can also be automated
» Feeding the flames of the quant vs qual battle
⋄ BUT: Embracing mixed methods techniques is
a great way of combating this
» Comprehension can be a challenge
⋄ BUT: It can help make things that are already
complex (relatively) easier to understand
17
Think about how you
would do this, and how
it could benefit your
team
18
Consider for yourself
» Think about 2-3 metrics you have for a
product you’re working on
⋄ It should be able to be grouped or
numbered
» Think about how they can all relate to one
another in terms of a story
» Think of ways to represent that
relationship through data analysis
