Over the last year, the Ambassador Labs team has doubled on adopting Product Led Growth (PLG), a growth model where product usage drives customer acquisition, retention, and expansion. Its been an interesting journey for the DevRel team, who have worked more closely with the sales and growth engineering teams.

In their quest to reduce the friction of product adoption, theyre thinking increasingly about the end-to-end experiences, experimentation, instrumentation, data analysis, and handoffs much like we saw in the software development world with the adoption of DevOps breaking down barriers between engineering and operations.

The Ambassador Labs team have learned more about the value of creating hypotheses and analyzing quantitative data, but have also been reminded that there is no substitute for qualitative data and engaging human-to-human. Join Daniel for a whistle-stop tour of PLG through the DevRel lens:
