We (Sam and Cedric) have been a little quiet lately because we’ve been hard at work designing, writing, and then recording The Metrics Masterclass – a paid course that explains how to use XmR charts to a) understand your metrics, in all the possible scenarios, but also b) to uncover the causal model of your business.

We wanted to let you know that The Metrics Masterclass is out today — pre-order customers have already received an email telling them how to access the full course — but also that this is the last chance to buy the Metrics Masterclass at the pre-order price of US$199.

In 48 hours (roughly 5pm Singapore Time 3rd Oct 2024), we’ll be increasing the price to US$360.

What You Get

Why would you want to buy the Metrics Masterclass? Well, our pitch is simple:

You can learn everything you’ll need to know about XmR charts on your own …

All you have to do is:

• read a couple dozen blog posts
• read one or two books (we recommend Understanding Variation and Making Sense of Data by Donald Wheeler)
• hunt down a small handful of old academic papers
• and spend a year doing trial and error!

Or you can save all of that time, learn how to use these charts once, and start using them to achieve your goals in business.

The Metrics Masterclass will teach you everything you need to know about XmR charts, soup to nuts.

You’re going to learn:

• Advanced methods of using XmR charts, like: When do XmR charts fail? And how to deal with trended data?
• A method to improve any process in your business.
• Some of the challenges teaching this method and spreading it to the rest of your organisation.
• Learn all the common gotchas, and potential pitfalls of using XmR charts in real world businesses.
• Plus lots of real world case studies, learnt from painful trial and error.

What’s Next

We plan to continue iterating on course content, until we figure out the most effective way to teach these ideas.

Purchasing at the $199 pre-order price will give you access to a small handful of live events, as we want feedback to figure out the best way to teach these ideas (and put them to practice in real world business environments)!

Now that the Metrics Masterclass is done, we’ll be writing more essays and newsletters on using these ideas in business. (Where appropriate, we also plan to make fun of the prevailing approach of using data, to juxtapose the ideas we teach against mainstream, received wisdom around data ;-)

So expect to see these ideas in the coming weeks.

Thank you for reading!

Warmly,

Sam, Cedric and the rest of the Xmrit team.

PS: Fun, side note: the Metrics Masterclass is how we fund continued development of the open source Xmrit tool. Since we use the tool very frequently, we are constantly experimenting with ways to improve the tool. Right now, we’re looking for a developer to take on the next set of iterations (about 1-2 months of work). Expect updates when that happens.
