Learn to design, interpret, and ritualize application analytics for developer library engagement — from first import to multi-version habit.

Modules

About six weeks at a steady pace; Atlas Circle adds live clinics between modules.

1

Questions before events

Map decisions your library team actually makes, then derive the minimum signal set.

2

Event vocabularies

Naming, versioning, and deprecation so history survives API churn.

3

Arrival, fit, and habit

Separate funnels for install success, API fit, and repeated productive use.

4

Quiet failures

Instrument swallowed errors and retries without turning SDKs into spyware.

5

Adoption scorecards

Build a board executives can read in three minutes without losing nuance.

6

Weekly rituals

Facilitation scripts, decision logs, and when to stop measuring.

Learning outcomes

  • Publish a versioned event catalog for one library
  • Define “first productive use” for your domain
  • Ship an adoption scorecard with explicit limitations
  • Run a 45-minute weekly review that ends in decisions
  • Explain sampling and privacy trade-offs to non-engineers

FAQ

Do I need a production warehouse already?

Helpful but not required. We provide CSV-backed exercises. Moving to BigQuery or Snowflake is illustrated, not mandated.

Is this suitable for mobile SDKs?

Concepts transfer, but crash symbolication and store analytics are out of scope. Treat that as a real limitation — bring a mobile specialist if those are your primary surfaces.

How much time per week?

Plan five focused hours: one essay, one studio task, and peer critique.

What language is instruction in?

Primary materials and live clinics are English. Optional Korean office hours are available for Atlas Circle and Observatory Lab.

Course reviews

“The quiet failures module changed how we triage support. We still argue about PII redaction — in a good way.”
Ravi · Singapore
Sora’s scorecard critique was blunt: our first draft celebrated volume. Second draft told a release story. That sting was useful.
