What were the goals for it?

likesmart

The goal was to drive higher adoption of the overall product, we were trying to see if ease of use through a search like feature in a group chat would be impactful to drive higher engagement.

Client retention just enough - would not kill but would wait to ship.

smart

Depends on the main metric that this was trying to measure or improve on

Retention isn’t significant to drive a large impact so probably not, as M1 stated above but if it was to improve number of messages sent or smth then yes

like

"retention not significant enough to drive a large impact"? Do you think it's an unsustainable result? (The p value is quite small though)

Need more context - from first glance I don't 100% follow but it depends on the situation. I'm sure I'm missing something

like

Why is your # of days of client retention metric so short? Is this chat feature a key part of the user workflow? Hard to make a recommendation based on the limited info here. You prob want to look at how much users are engaging with other adjacent elements of the UI. Determine if they’re ignoring your piece of the product as a whole or just the search feature. If they’re ignoring your product in general, you’re going to need to do something bigger and more innovative to hook users in

smart

Adding more context; the feature was to enable a search functionality in a group chat so that users can reach to particular messages easily

Prioritization of feature - a search functionality that enables a user to search different chat rooms vs a search functionality that enables a user to search within messages of a chat room. (Based on the Goal to drive higher engagement wouldn't the success metric be client retention?)

Aren’t most p-values insignificant? To me it makes sense to continue the pilot for a bit. I’d like to see retention, engagement develop a bit more

Isn't the "significance" defined by the user group and maturity of the product? Imo If there's a larger user base 0.15% is high enough to ignore the metric.

I enjoy the question but the data is from 2014 so what is this test?

That's true, it's a hypothetical situation. I am trying to learn ☺️

I would want to see more adoption and retention, continue the pilot until that goes up.

Are you suggestion to continue the pilot without any major tweaks?
