Presentation

Agile Web Analytics: Tracking What Matters to Improve Site Usability and Performance.

Time is, of course, money. If you really want to see an ROI from web analytics, you need to reduce the time to insight. This may mean slaughtering some sacred cows and taking a fresh look at what you’re tracking, why, and how. In this presentation, Brian Molstad will outline ways to abandon bureaucracy and obligatory reports, take action faster, and point out why more automation is not always the answer. Find out which reports and functions in Google Analytics lead to insight and how to avoid useless aggregate metrics. In addition, you’ll learn how web analytics can be a valuable addition to the user centered design process and why usability practitioners are well-suited for implementing web analytics methodologies within their organizations.
