What is Product Analytics?
Tools and practices for tracking how users interact with your product to inform decisions.
Why It Matters
Product analytics replaces guesswork with data, showing what features users actually use and value.
Real-World Example
Discovering through analytics that 80% of users never find the search feature because of its placement.
“Understanding terms like Product Analytics matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
