Part 3: Deep Dive into Key Metrics for API Products
The goal of any product is to drive value for its customers. If customers can discover your product, easily understand the utility it provides, and start using it effectively in a way that they find valuable, your product has successfully achieved its goal.
In Part 1, you learned about the roles and responsibilities of an API product manager and how to build, grow, maintain, and support APIs as products. In Part 2, you learned about the developer journey and how the consumers of API products discover, evaluate, integrate, test, and measure the APIs they consume. Now that you have a deep understanding of the customer, you can start to think about metrics that can measure various aspects of a product across producers and consumers. You will learn to manage APIs methodically and learn about the levers you have to improve these metrics so that your product can be successful.
