Who This Helps
This is for you, Junior Analyst. You have data, you have ideas, and you want to ship analysis that actually gets used. The Product Portfolio Strategy course helps you size bets and sequence work so your next experiment isn't just busy work.
Mini Case
Imagine you have three experiment ideas. Idea A could boost retention by 12%. Idea B might save 7 days of manual work. Idea C is a wild guess. Without a clear priority, you waste time on C. With a simple portfolio map, you pick A first. That's 12% more users sticking around.
Do This Now (5 Steps)
- List every experiment you're considering. Keep it to a single page.
- Give each a rough size: small, medium, large. Use your gut.
- Add a confidence score: high, medium, low. Be honest.
- Rank them by impact. Ask: which one moves the needle most?
- Pick the top one. Start tomorrow. No overthinking.
Avoid These Traps
- Don't chase shiny ideas. Stick to your ranked list.
- Don't overanalyze. A rough estimate beats no estimate.
- Don't forget to check capacity. You can't do three big bets at once.
- Don't ignore kill criteria. If an experiment fails fast, move on.
