You’ve been in that Agile planning session.
Everyone agrees on goals like “improve customer experience” or “increase engagement.” The roadmap looks aligned. The OKRs are approved. But when the sprint ends, no one can clearly explain what success actually means—or why customers should care.
Months later, your product team ships a feature. Customers don’t use it. Stakeholders ask uncomfortable questions. Someone says, “I thought we were building something different.”
This isn’t a delivery problem. It’s a conversation problem.
Across Agile teams, product management organizations, and enterprise transformations, teams work hard, follow the process, and deliver on time—yet still struggle to create real customer and business value. The gap isn’t execution. It’s how goals, assumptions, and decisions are discussed.
Structured Conversations is a practical toolkit for closing that gap.
This book shows product leaders, Agile coaches, and delivery teams how to use clear language and visual thinking to align strategy, product decisions, and day‑to‑day work around measurable outcomes.
In this book, you’ll learn how to:
Write clear, outcome‑focused goals using VERB + NOUN syntax that eliminate ambiguity
Connect customer needs to business impact using Empathy Mapping, Customer Journey Mapping, and Impact Mapping
Align product roadmaps and delivery plans with OKRs that drive accountability and learning
Validate assumptions early using Hypothesis‑Driven Development and Example Mapping
Facilitate cross‑functional Agile conversations where disagreements become productive
Turn vague requirements into clear, executable user stories that teams interpret the same way
Drawing on experience across startups, financial services, and large‑scale Agile transformations, Structured Conversations bridges the gap between product strategy and value delivery with techniques that work in real‑world environments.
The approaches are modular. Start with the technique that addresses your biggest challenge today. Each chapter includes step‑by‑step guidance, real examples, and “Try This Right Now” exercises you can apply immediately.
Whether you work in product management, Agile delivery, or organizational change, this book helps you turn good intentions into measurable outcomes.

Google Analytics Alternatives: A Guide to Navigating the World of Options Beyond Google (2nd Edition)
Release
date: Feb 01, 2026
Google Analytics Alternatives is an independent evaluation of 15 of the leading analytics tools that can function as Google Analytics replacements. Th
Google Analytics Alternatives is an independent evaluation of 15 of the leading analytics tools that can function as Google Analytics replacements. The book is a learning guide, providing readers with a framework for better understanding the marketplace and tool methodologies.
It's aimed at analysts and implementors, but is informative to any web professional.
This book is 100% human-written.
What's Different About This Book?
There's plenty of free lists of GA alternatives out there, why should you pay for my book?
Truly independent research.
Many existing lists of alternatives and their features are done by the vendors themselves, their affiliates, or agencies that specialize in one of the alternatives. I give a balanced, unbiased assessment of each tool. I'm not selling anything other than this book.
A comprehensive, rigorous approach.
Long product lists without context make decision-making even harder. Instead of a big feature matrix, the first half of the book will help you narrow down what you need. The second part focuses on features that best distinguish each product.
Based on real-world usage.
I didn't just read someone else's list, read a vendor's marketing page, or sit through a product demo. I installed all 15 options on live websites with real user traffic — collecting data over multiple months to better understand each product.
Part One
Background of all the most relevant topics to help you develop your own decision framework. Examples of questions discussed include:
- Should I self-host my analytics? What about open source?
- What's the difference between product analytics and web analytics?
- How do privacy and compliance issues affect my choice of tool?
Part Two
Individual product evaluations include:
Adobe Analytics, Amplitude, Clicky, Cloudflare Web Analytics, Fathom Analytics, Google Analytics, Heap, Matomo, Mixpanel, Piano Analytics, Piwik PRO, Plausible Analytics, PostHog, Statcounter, and Umami
These evaluations focus on the best use case for each product and highlights features and approaches that are most representative and unique to each.
About the Author
Jason Packer is owner and principal consultant at Quantable Analytics. He has over 20 years of experience in data and analytics, and has also been a Unix systems administrator, web programmer, network engineer, and SEO specialist.
Praise of the first edition of Google Analytics Alternatives from Industry Experts
“This book is a must-read for anyone who ever has ever considered the question, ‘What options do I really have besides Google Analytics?’ Jason Packer provides an in-depth guide to what the key considerations are for answering that question, as well as a detailed explanation of how those considerations apply to 14 different platforms — eschewing the 'feature comparison matrix' for a much, much more valuable assessment and explanation based on hands-on implementation and exploration of each platform.”
–Tim Wilson, Head of Solutions at facts & feelings, Co-Author of Analytics the Right Way
“This guide is thorough, thoughtful (and in some cases, thought-provoking), and a wonderful way to get familiar with the many tools out there. It comes at a great time, as many companies are re-evaluating their analytics tool right now. As a consultant with experience with only a few toolsets, I learned a lot about all the potential tools my clients have thought about (or not known enough to think about).”
–Jenn Kunz, Analytics Engineering Manager at Playstation
“This book is a great way at viewing the web analytics ecosystem as a whole - worth every cent.”
–Brian Clifton, Director of Analytics, Verified Data and author of Advanced Web Metrics with Google Analytics

A seductive modern gothic novel following a promising young filmmaker during one sun-bleached July at a famous director’s summer home
In the midst of an unrelenting heatwave, up-and-coming filmmaker Ruby arrives at the summer home of her idol. Ellen, an iconoclastic feminist director known for mentoring other women, has offered Ruby a room of her own while she finishes her screenplay. Hyped as the next big thing, producers are clamoring for a “female story” mined from Ruby’s trauma, and her deadline is fast approaching.
When she arrives in the countryside, Ellen’s house emerges like something out of a dream—grand and imposing, surrounded by sprawling gardens and a shimmering swimming pool. But tension thrums beneath the picture-perfect surface. Ellen’s reputation is under fire after she’s accused of appropriating a story that wasn’t hers to tell. Meanwhile, Ellen’s mercurial twenty-something daughter Lara lounges by the pool under the blistering sun, drawing her mother’s latest houseguest towards her like a moth to a flame.
Trapped between scorched empty fields and waiting for the heat to break, Ruby’s aspirational summer of artistic retreat spirals into an all-consuming affair. Even the house itself begins to feel haunted, and Ruby has the unnerving sensation that she’s not the first promising young woman brought here to fall under its spell.
Hot to the touch, Imogen Crimp’s Give Me Everything You’ve Got is a spellbinding fever dream, exploring the dark corners of ambition, exploitation, and what it takes to be a woman artist.
