Who This Helps
This is for growth marketers tired of scrambling for last-minute numbers before a meeting. If you're manually pulling data from five different places just to show channel performance, the Product Decisions Mission Pack shows you a better way. It’s about building a system, not a one-time slide.
Mini Case
Sam, a growth lead, spent 4 hours every Monday compiling a performance report. After applying a framework from the Product Decisions Mission Pack, she set up an automated dashboard. Her manual update time dropped to 20 minutes, and her team could see real-time channel shifts. They caught a 15% dip in a paid channel two days faster and reallocated budget before the week was lost.
Do This Now (5 Steps)
- Pick your one north star metric. Is it trial sign-ups, activation rate, or weekly active users? Just one.
- List the 3 core channels that directly feed that metric. Be ruthless.
- Connect your data sources for those channels to a single dashboard tool.
- Use an AI assistant to write the first draft of your weekly commentary by summarizing the dashboard trends. This saves you from staring at a blank doc.
- Schedule the dashboard to email your key stakeholders every Monday at 9 AM. Boom, report is done.
Avoid These Traps
- Don't try to track every metric. You'll drown in data and see nothing.
- Don't build a report no one reads. If your team isn't checking it, it's not useful.
- Don't forget to annotate big changes. A spike or drop without context is just noise.
- Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. A simple, automated report is better than a perfect manual one you skip.
- Don't hide the bad news. The goal is insight, not a pretty picture.
- Don't change your core metrics every month. Give your system time to show trends.
- Don't do this alone. Get a teammate to review the flow to catch blind spots.
- Don't forget to celebrate when the automation works. You just bought yourself hours back.
