Common questions
What analytics tools should product ops own vs data team?
Product ops should own the product analytics layer (Mixpanel, Amplitude, Heap) and the dashboard layer. Data engineering owns the pipeline and warehouse. The handoff point is the clean event schema — product ops defines what events to capture, data engineering implements the capture.
How do I get PMs to actually use analytics dashboards?
Build dashboards with PMs, not for them. One working session where the PM defines the questions they need answered produces a more useful dashboard than any independently-built reporting suite.
