Advanced Professional Certificate in Product Analytics, Experimentation & Metrics (North- Star/OKR)
The Advanced Professional Certificate in Product Analytics, Experimentation & Metrics (North-
Star/OKR) equips product teams to instrument products, measure what matters, and run
trustworthy experiments that drive growth and retention.
Course Overview
The Advanced Professional Certificate in Product Analytics, Experimentation & Metrics (North-
Star/OKR) equips product teams to instrument products, measure what matters, and run
trustworthy experiments that drive growth and retention.
The programme blends metric trees & north-star frameworks, event design & data quality,
cohorts/funnels/retention, A/B testing & causal thinking, and OKR operating cadence—so leaders
can link daily decisions to outcomes executives care about.
Why This Course is Important?
- Outcomes over activity: Clear metrics and experimentation keep teams focused on customer and business impact.
- Credibility with leadership: Sound methods + transparent readouts build trust in decisions.
- Speed to learning: A rigorous experimentation pipeline accelerates iteration and value delivery.

- Design event schemas and implement analytics with strong data quality.
- Analyse funnels, cohorts, retention, and lifecycle health.
- Plan and run A/B tests (power/MDE, guardrails), and apply causal inference when RCTs aren’t feasible.
- Build decision dashboards and executive readouts that guide action.
- Operate a quarterly OKR cadence that ties discovery, delivery, and measurement together.
