It seamlessly connects with business data sources, from social media to back-office platforms. With no coding, users can integrate various platforms and ensure data remains synchronized.

How to plan and track your growth experiments

- To use Rows template, follow the link Growth Experiments tracker, click on Use template and save it in one of your workspace’s folders.

• Use columns A and C to title, describe and set a priority for your experiment, whether it is a change in your product tour, or adding a new step in your onboarding.

  

• - Columns D and E help you to classify the experiment by choosing the portion of the user journey impacted, i.e. retention, onboarding, revenue, etc and the category to which it belongs, i.e. survey, email, product tour, etc.

• Columns F and G are meant to enclose the goal and the KPI(s) to monitor to evaluate the success of the experiment. This is probably the most important element to keep in mind even before starting the experiment: you need to ask yourself, where does this experiment lead to? Which specific metric will be impacted? is it relevant enough to our company goals?

• The remaining columns help you track the project management components of your experiments, such as setting the owner, the time frame, the status, or linking any document you are using to keep extensive notes about the experiment.

  Finally, if you are using Notion or any other internal tools that support iframes to record the details of these experiments, you can embed this table in your document. Just click on the ... icon in the top right corner of the table and pick Embed. Ensure access is granted and copy URL!

Anthropomorphism

Anthropomorphism is the tendency of humans to attribute human qualities to nonhumans like animals and chatbots. Because chatbots and other AI models are created to sound or appear human, people tend to anthropomorphize them, attributing either a “he” or “she” pronoun.
