How to Measure User Value in Three Easy Steps
by Kristin Zibell — Link to article
As a product manager, my job is to create value for users, find new opportunities to add features and make sure the product solves an actual problem.
Kristin Zibell compiles steps on how to measure the value of a product proposition from the users' perspective, it is nicely written and clear with examples of how your point of view might be different from the users. Here is a great quote.

Create a Multi-Page App with the New Streamlit-Option-Menu Component

I love streamlit, it's an easy and powerful framework that lets you create beautiful dashboards and pages with simple components.
But as with anything streamlit has limitations and the main one is the early stage of some of those components.

The article provides a tutorial like feel with simple instructions on how to implement this component with multiple examples. Really worth a read.

If you have checked my published stories you will know that I like two things: Product and metrics. So that is why I saved this article as soon as I read the title.
Anthony Murphy writes very well, with a lot of examples and visuals that make sure that even the most junior of product managers can understand the nuances of measuring product metrics. It is well worth the read and save in your Product Management folder for consultation.
Here is a snipet:
The point is to ensure that any metric you set or decide to track you have a clear understanding of “why” you are tracking it…
