Lean Analytics: Use Data To Build A Better Startup Faster (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
A great practical book on how to get the most out of your analytics. Full of great examples, great metrics, and a great system for understanding what types of metrics will improve your business depending on the maturity of your product. This book really reinforces the point that metrics which are not in service of your current business goals are effectively trivia and not worth investment. I highly recommend it. A great book for start-up entrepreneurs (and those considering that path) and people trying to promote change in big organizations. In the footsteps of Lean Startup, it covers all stages of such an endeavor, but with a data-oriented (but not data-obsessed) approach.In all fairness, I'm neither an entrepreneur, nor a data-driven decision maker. However, most of my professional life involves dealing with such personae, and the book gave me the vocabulary and context to keep this conversation in high bandwidth. At the same time that I skimmed a bit through the decision-making details (which you should not if you are in the group above), I also spent an extra while reading the abundant and concise case studies - which, for me, are closer to home.(Disclaimer: I happen to know one of the authors - but other than pushing the book up in my "to-read" list, that didn't impact my evaluation)
