OVERVIEW

About this course

There is a world beyond sales and marketing dashboards, a world where you like to look into user activities with your services and their impact on your revenue. So do people churn less when they interact with customer service? Is there a difference in response time make. If you like to answer these questions with a classic BI stack, you will spend a lot of time preparing the data and then make accessible. And that is just question number one; a good product team will have their follow-up questions already prepared in their heads. Ahmed, CEO of Narrator and the inventor of the activity schema saw this all during his time leading the data team at WeWork and now helping companies with Narrator. In this course, we explain the limitations of star-schema, the role of activities, how to model data for activity analytics, formulate questions, and the 12 core temporal joins.
