Project Management
In addition to getting a private instance of our program template in Basecamp 4, we support your growth initiatives with project management and proprietary tools that organize your experiments.
Analysis
Reporting and analysis are often seen by marketers as "necessary evils." However, in Growth, it's a tool with many use cases in the never-ending quest for market dominance.
- Weekly quantitative analysis for QA & ideation
- Weekly qualitative analysis with Sales
Prioritization with ICE
In the never-ending mission to increase your North Star wins, we deploy a litany of tools and processes to stay organized, clear-eyed, and effectively pursue the ideas for Growth that carry the most relevancy. That's why ICE scoring is an embedded part of our decision-making process. Every experiment is given a score based on the following:
- I - (expected) Impact to the North Star
- C - Confidence the experiment will work
- E - Ease of Execution
Agile Response
The rubber hits the road in Growth when you respond to the outcomes of your experiments when there is momentum and velocity. Our 2-week sprint cycle has a built in analysis phase where outcomes are reviewed, conclusions are drawn, and the next ideas are developed and prioritized in upcoming sprints.
- Lightning fast responses
- No more content calendars
