Measure accordingly. 
“All metrics are born equal, 
this topic. 
but some metrics are more equal than the others.” 
George Orwell

USE 
EXCESSIVE 
JARGON
Protip: Talk human language. 
USE 
EXCESSIVE 
JARGON

Involve. 
Deploy a new feature 
& 
expect people to start using it.

Give users a self 
service portal that 
looks like it was 
built in the 80’s. 
Just like the font used in this slide.

Your customers are used to modern apps. 
They deserve a 
well designed
