At Avo we believe that to deliver a good product the whole team needs to have a good understanding of the product. Our core design role is the product designer. Their responsibility is to do user research, design user flows and create beautiful and functional screens. With that the whole team can have the foundation and vision they need to deliver a great product. We work in a 3 week rhythm and the design process is framed by that.
Figuring out what to measure can be a daunting task. In this post, we share some methods to make choosing events and properties easier. The key to making sure your data stays useful is to align on foundational principles with your team. Self-serve analytics can easily turn into the wild west of data. Rather than just sending data in and figuring it out later, start with a plan which makes it clear how information should be sent to your tools.
Project dependency mapping is the process of breaking down and understanding all the ways your organization’s tracking code and platforms connect to each other.

Data drives decisions and growth, and is an important part of the development process - whether we like it or not.
