About the Book

Product Analytics: The No Bull Guide for Busy People is a practical guide for product professionals who want to make better decisions using data without getting lost in theory.

Drawing from real experience across dozens of product launches, the book explains the metrics that actually matter when building and growing digital products. It shows how to interpret user behaviour, measure retention, understand monetisation, and connect product metrics to business outcomes.

Rather than presenting analytics as a complex discipline reserved for specialists, this book breaks it down into clear frameworks and real examples. Readers will learn how to measure the full user journey from acquisition to retention and revenue, while avoiding common mistakes in interpreting data.

Whether you're a product manager, game designer, founder, analyst, or marketer, this guide will help you understand what your product data is really telling you, and how to act on it.
