The Fifth Elephant 2012

By the end of this session, the audience will have a good framework to make data driven decisions, at the same time using your intuition to guide you.

Will be beneficial if you are building a product or looking forward to build one soon.

Outline

We have all heard and known how important it is to make data driven decisions. This session will start with various ways in which data can be used to drive meaningful product decisions that have direct and measurable impact on product metrics.

This will be backed with real-life examples of axes around which data should be sliced / diced to derive inferences from my experience at Lifeblob and MakeMyTrip.

In addition, there are always cases that require you to take a “leap of faith”, where your intuition points you in one direction and data leads to another. The latter part of the session will cover some of these cases and provide a framework to use your intuition while remaining true to the philosophy of data driven decisions.
