Let’s start with a short definition
▪ AARRR is a framework that shows you the sales funnel in a specific
way
▪ It is widely used by online startups to define their strategy, tactics
but also KPIs for every stage
▪ AARRR is sometimes called Pirate Metrics

Let’s have a look what AARRR stands for
▪ How do they find you?
▪ Do you create a great customer experience?
▪ Is your app easy to use?
▪ Do they come back? How often and for what
time do they use your app?
▪ Do they become paid members? How do you
earn money?
▪ Will they recommend you to other potential
users?

Funnel Analyses by cohorts

Funnel Analyses by cohorts –
Introduction
123
Quite often you want to go deeper and analyze how the sales funnel looks like
for different segments, cohorts. This is when cohort analysis comes in handy.
124
In this section, we will talk about the following things
How we can analyze sales
funnels by cohorts

Consulting Firm
– Case study
What is Cohort Analysis
125
Cohort Analysis
126
Let’s start with a short definition
▪ It is a group of people, events that share the same defining
characteristics
▪ In many cases, it will be a segment of customers, however, it may
also be simply a group of customers who were acquired in the same
month or through the same channel
▪ Cohorts usually have common characteristics, and in the case of
customers common experiences, that occur within a given period
▪ Cohorts help you disaggregate the results, find outliers and improve
the business
Cohorts
=
127
Let’s start by looking at general framework of cohort analysis. Usually
you observe behavior of cohorts in time measured by some metric
Time frame

Demographics (age, gender, etc.)
Geographic segmentation (type
or size of city, etc.)
Year or Month of customer
acquisition
Behavior (first time user, regular
user, source of traffic)
Psychographic (personality, class,
lifestyle)
133
When it comes to the metrics, we want to track using cohort analysis
below some usual suspects
Average Transaction Value
Time spend on the site or with
the product
# of products bought / used per
year
Number of customers in the
cohort
Churn Rate

Funnel Analysis in Testing
– Introduction
150
Funnel analyses can also be used for testing business ideas, small and big
improvements. In this section, we will discuss how to do it in practice.
151
In this section, we will talk about the following things

Funnel Analyses in Testing
153
Let’s start with a short definition
▪ A tool that can be used to map, manage and analyze various ideas
aimed at improving or completely changing a given area of the
business
▪ Funnel Testing helps you find fast potential improvements as well as
minimize the risk of causing problems
▪ To use the full potential of the Funnel Analysis in Testing we should
divide more complicated concepts / ideas into a series of smaller
tests
▪ In Funnel Testing you will impose limits on most stages to manage
the process smoothly

159
Funnel Analyses in Testing
– the Process
160
The Funnels in Testing usually consists of 5 main stages
Define your goal
Generate potential
ideas for
improvements
Create a ranking of
the ideas
Test and analyze the
results
Implement the
changes
▪ Clearly define your
goal and what you
would like to
achieve
▪ On this basis, you'll
be able to create a
list of ideas to be
tested
▪ Create a list of ideas
that you would like
to test
▪ At this stage you
don't have to limit
yourself
▪ Write down all the
ideas that come to
your mind
▪ Define criteria that
you will use to
evaluate ideas, e.g.
easiness of
implementation,
costs, resources
needed, time
▪ Create a ranking
and evaluate the
each idea
separately
▪ Thanks to that you
will be able to
prioritize them from
the best to the
worst
▪ Next, limit the
number of ideas
that you will be
testing
▪ Conduct the tests of
the selected ideas
▪ Analyze the results
▪ Based on results
decide whether you
will be
implementing the
idea
▪ For ideas that you
want to move to
implementation
phase prepare, an
implementation
plan and allocate
resources
▪ Implement selected
ideas
▪ Monitor and control
them to ensure that
they meet earlier
assumptions
161
Let’s see how you can prioritize ideas. This can used as a simplified
ranking
Difficulty of
implementation
Impact on company’s
operations
High
Low
Small
Big
▪ Quick Wins – ideas that are
easy to test and implement and
have a big impact on the
company's operations
▪ Big Bets – ideas that are not
easy to test or implement but
have big impact on the
company's operations
▪ Not worth the attention –
ideas that are not easy to test
and implement and have no big
impact on the company's
operations
▪ Small Wins – ideas that are
easy to test and implement but
have no big impact on the
company's operations
162
How you can find ideas worth
testing
163
Every funnel is a hungry beast. Let’s have a look at
how you can generate ideas for your testing funnel.
164
Below the usual suspects that will help you generate
Existing problems
Brainstorming
Recycling of old ideas
Tactics used by your competitors
Tactics used in other industries
Unexpected usage of your
product / service
Previous failures Lack of Logic

In this section, we will talk about the following things
How to manage teams in
practice
How to use funnel Analysis

Create to-do lists
187
To do list will help you to arrange you work into smaller actionable
pieces
188
There are few rules that will help you write down the to-do list and
make the best out of them
Put everything on a list
Use multiple lists
Specific actionable things
Divided jobs into small tasks
Set pace
Use calendar as one of the lists
Go through lists regularly
Use tools to track tasks
execution
Put project as to-do list
189
You can use different type of list of to-dos

This means that you have to make 2 types of update. You check your people (team
assign to you). You also have to check the projects you supervise (also team
members not reporting to you)
Check the teams assigned to
you
Check projects status – for
project you are managing
▪ Daily – 1-2 times a da for 15-30 minutes
▪ Weekly – 30 minutes updates
196
There are some rules for that will make it easier for you to manage both
type of teams
Don’t penalize for not meeting
deadlines
Set aggressive deadlines
Create fast Minimal Viable
Version
Do as much as possible using
other people
Let the team members make
mistakes
Be lazy
Create the to-do list and
communicate it

Funnel Analysis for
Project Management
Kanban for Projects
One last thing. Instead of Funnel Analysis when it comes to
management quite often we will use the name Kanban
≈
210
In the next lectures, we will have a look at 2 case studies
Kanban for managing a
consulting project
How to gradually delegate
211
Kanban for managing a project
212
There are 2 main ways to control the progress of the project. You can use for this
purpose the presentation template or a Kanban showing the status of all activities /
analysis that are supposed to be delivered as a part of the project
Presentation template in power point Project kanban

Gradual Delegation
220
Gradual delegation helps you control the situation and make sure that the work will be
done according to your standards. Let’s discuss when and how it can be used.
221
Let’s have a look when you can apply gradual delegation
You have previous
experience
You know the area you are
delegating inside out
You understand the project
stages
You understand potential
risks
You want to improve team
competences
You are fine with the short-
term inefficiencies
222
Define the goal Shape the work
Gradually delegate
the work
Monitor and control
at every stage
Evaluate work and
provide feedback
▪ Define which tasks
from those you are
responsible for can
be delegated to
others
▪ Define what should
be done
▪ Define at the right
level of abstraction
what should be
done and how it
should be done
▪ Create the
guidelines for
persons who will be
responsible for the
implementation of
tasks (tools,
timelines, working
conditions,
controlling process)
▪ Delegate tasks
gradually
▪ Do not delegate all
tasks at once
▪ Control the team's
work according to a
predetermined
schedule
▪ Thanks to that the
work will be done
well and effectively
because you can
react quickly to
emerging problems
or risks
▪ Evaluate the work
▪ Provide necessary
feedback
▪ Receive the final
task / project
Let’s have a look how the process of gradual delegation look like

Gradual Delegation – Case
Introduction
225
Let’s imagine that small company that creates online courses would like to increase the
number of created courses. Let’s have a look how they can do it by gradually delegating work.
226
The company is based in Central Europe
Currently all courses are created by one
person – a manager
Preparation of one course consists of 5
stages
A few information about the firm
The owner would like to increase the # of
courses and decrease costs
227
Shape-up
Preparation of
Materials
Movie shooting Editing the movies
Check the movies
and upload the
material
Let’s have a look from what stages the preparation of courses process
consist of – Before
Manager Manager

Who does
it?

to do it
228
Gradual Delegation – Case
Solution
229
Just as a reminder we are helping a small company that creates online courses delegate work from
Manager to Business Analysts. This we hope will increase the # of course created per month by the team.
