How does your team handle product analytics?

2 points by ryanatmixpanel 21 days ago

Hey HN — I work at Mixpanel and I’m doing some research on how engineering teams interact with product analytics (think Mixpanel/PostHog, event tracking, etc.). I’m not here to pitch anything — just genuinely curious about how teams manage their analytics and where the pain points are.

Would really appreciate any thoughts on the questions below — feel free to answer just one or riff on whatever resonates:

- Where does most of your time go when dealing with analytics or tracking?

- What’s the most frustrating or repetitive part of managing analytics?

- Do you wish other teams could explore product data without you?

- What do you actually think of the tools you use (or have used)?

- If you could magically fix one thing about how your company handles analytics, what would it be?

Totally open-ended — feel free to answer any or just share how you’ve approached analytics in your org.

Thanks in advance!
