Introduction to Drawing the Big Picture with Data

What will we learn?

We've already learned about the variety of product metrics we can set across infrastructure, product experience, and business metrics. But each metric only shows us a part of the big picture. To understand the full context, we have to view different metrics in relation to each other. Metrics can be used to figure out how the product is doing, find ways to improve it, and set goals for the different teams.

As we now know, APIs are built, distributed, and supported by a number of different teams. All these teams and stakeholders have their own set of focused goals they track and optimize. However, as the product manager, we need to understand how these metrics relate to each other so that we can understand how product changes impact the metrics that some of the other teams might be following.
