Designing products for the long run — on screens and on trails

Uber

  • Numbers of rides cancelled by the driver.

Cure.fit

  • Number of drop-offs in the last 10 minutes & unused.
  • Sum of Fitcash amount expired for users.

Google Pay

  • Number of installs + Add your bank account leading to failure/drop-off.

Google Maps

  • How many users are re-routed because they don’t know whether to take the fly-over or the underpass?

LinkedIn

  • LinkedIn users who upgrade to freemium more than 2 times for jobs v/s freemium for Lynda courses.
  • Request a recommendation from a colleague who works with you at the current organization as well as one of the previous organisations.

Pocket

  • Untapped/unread links on ‘My lists’ in the Home page.

Whatsapp

  • Entered text yet hasn’t initiated the ‘Send’ button.

Slack

  • Number of users whose Slackbot/You space is unused.

Netflix

  • When you pause and leave content (and if you ever come back)
  • When the user pause, rewind, or fast forward
  • Zip code of the location you watch

Google Podcast

  • Number of downloaded podcasts never played.

Website

  • Unsubscribe event

e-commerce app/site

  • Return/Refund event

Streaming service

  • Video buffering

General ones

  • Account Deletion event
  • Complaints page view
  • Cookie opt-out button event (no solution here, but it can be tied to lower traffic or lower, positive, conversions)
  • Comment events on community help forum
  • Sitemap link clicks (why couldn’t the user find the right page without using the sitemap?)

Connecting the dots:

  • Why doesn’t Dunzo have a logout CTA?
  • Why doesn’t CRED allow me to delete a debit/credit card?
  • Why is that there is no Search option among 100’s of CRED rewards?
