Excited to introduce Yogesh Singh (@yogesh_shekhawat) to the forum! > “I have 15+ years in product design industry and have good experience in ecommerce. This might be helpful for community to share my experience.” 👉 What’s the hardest part about measuring design impact in your work? > “Hardest part about measuring design impact in my work is to prove a design change directly caused a specific e-commerce success metric like conversion or revenue. Multiple factors like marketing campaigns, seasonal trends, pricing, or inventory often influence results, making it difficult to isolate the design’s true impact.” Thanks for sharing Yogesh, great to have you! ---

Can’t wait to hear more Ahh, thank you 😊 I’m always a little too happy to nerd out about this stuff, and while this probably isn’t the best place for a full case-study-style deep dive, if you’re curious about any specific part of it I’m more than happy to share more ---

Happy Tuesday, forum peeps! We have some awesome new people joining us, pumped to have them in the mix 🎉 @ben_christine mentioned that hardest part of measuring design impact was - ”I always struggle to attribute design’s impact (design team) when so many other teams have involvement (product, ops, engineering, marketing…)” @jonas_lotherington jumps in with the challenge that “it’s a challenge to get a common understanding of what we should build, and why it matters to measure the things we actually build.” and @sena_aydin_bergfalk leans into the idea that the hardest part of measuring impact is “convincing teams to track signals that reflect the quality of the experience (like, say, frictions per journey), not just revenue or conversion. “ 🔥 LOOTTTA dense + important topic areas here! Excited to have you three with us and we continue to unpack these big ideas. Everyone welcome, @jonas_lotherington, @sena_aydin_bergfalk and @ben_christine 🎉 ---
