March 23, 2023

Analytics and Product teams are two critical functions for any business that wants to make data-driven decisions. Analytics teams provide insights into customer behavior, market trends, and other key data points, while Product teams use this information to develop new products and features. In this blog post, we'll explore how SmartSuite can help Analytics and Product teams work together more effectively.

The Power of Shared Data

One of the primary obstacles to collaboration between Analytics and Product teams is often the lack of shared data. Analytics teams work with their own data sets, while Product teams work with theirs, leading to inconsistency and duplication. SmartSuite provides a single platform for both teams to access and share data, which includes access to Product-related templates, such as:

  • Product Management
  • Product Roadmap

  • User Case Tracker
  • Customer Feedback
