The development process of modern digital products and services uses a lot of data and metrics. User experience research and customer experience management initiatives require a minimum of understanding and the capability of interpretation of data and metrics into insights.  

It is no surprise that designers (UX designers, service designers), product managers, CX and UX managers should have at least some minimum practical knowledge of data, metrics and statistics.

One thing is for sure: You don’t have to be a statistician in order to feel more comfortable with user & customer experience studies and be able to understand and interpret findings from data. 

theUXProdigy offers a crash course on the basics of data, metrics and statistical concepts that are essential for any user and customer experience project. The content focuses on the practical aspects with lots of examples and it does not require any prior knowledge of statistics.
