2024:Program/Data Products as tools for Collaboration
Session title: Data Products as tools for Collaboration
- Session type: Lecture
- Track: Technology
- Language: en
The tenth recommendation from Movement Strategy 2030 is “Evaluate, Iterate & Adapt”. This measurement process is a crucial piece of supporting healthy communities. The Wikimedia Foundation's newly formed Data Products team would like to share our progress towards building the capabilities that allow for collaborative evaluation of user experience, Movement health, and impact.
Description
[edit | edit source]The aim for this presentation is to share information about how data products can be used to make collaborative data-informed decisions. We will answer questions like: what is a data product? What public data products are currently offered and how can Wikipedians use them? What data products are not available publicly and why? We will outline a vision for a metrics platform as a stable single source of truth for Movement metrics and demonstrate our progress towards this goal. In particular, we will discuss our progress towards our preliminary emphasis on tools that enable product team experiments.These experimentation tools will allow product teams greater transparency and collaboration across communities when making data informed decisions based on user interaction data and standardized metric calculations.
We hope to close the session with a live demo and Q&A.
