Terrible audiobook. Misleading title.

This is not an ultimate guide in analytics. Is more a narration of generic concepts, endless introductions to other terms not directly related to analytics and complemented with well known / cliche examples. Is insulting that the longest chapter in this audiobook (the last one) is used to promote another of his ultimate guides (Agile Project Management). Shame. Waste of money.

This book is for beginners

If you have worked or have knowledge of analytics then this book is not for you. This book is basically an intro to analytics.

bait and switch

This book trolled me with "data science" in the title. it has nothing to do with data science, it's mostly just a cliff notes version of the Lean Startup. still, I did take away a few useful things, just not the things I was looking for

Good but superficial in some chapters.

I expected it to cover more on Data Science since it's mentioned in the description.

Basic knowledge

I got about halfway through this before I couldn't bear to listen to such basic concepts anymore. This book would only be insightful to an entrepreneur who has absolutely no idea how to run and build a business nor any idea how data or metrics work. Although I may be a data and analytics professional, some of the lines are just obvious business knowledge. Yes, I think we can all reason that if the "Buy" button on your website doesn't work, that it will impact sales. Thanks for that nugget.

I am so impressed with "Lean Analytics".

This is one of two books you should have in your arsenal. Traditionally, I love theory based books, but this book gave me more than just concept, this book focused on the concept, actionable insights and case studies. It is certainly the best reference to learn and understand practical startup metrics and analytics. I am so impressed with "Lean Analytics" that I will be purchasing copies for all of my startups.

It's really worth the reading.

This book is not only for those looking up to build a startup. It's actually for everyone who needs to understand metrics in a fundamental level, rather than just choosing randomly any numbers that might appear on Analytics. I liked it very much and would very much recommend it to anyone. It's really worth the reading.

Analysis methods to understand.

I am writing this review on my kindle so apologies for the typos. This book is definitely worth a read. the case studies presented are clear and concise. what I liked the most was the industry metric examples. really gives you useful information to work off of.

The Lean Startup & Running Lean.

This book gives you great overview of different techniques and methods needed to understand your product much better in different stages of it. If you are the one building your product using Lean, then you need this book to choose right data analysis methods to understand how your product is actually being, or more important, not being used by your customers, in order to choose next steps needed to put it in better position.

A great analytics for startups.

Very good read which breaks down analytics for startups. Helps you to quickly orient yourself to measuring what matters in starting a new business venture, including web service businesses.
