The growth team is a group of Mozillians who evaluate the current state of Firefox's acquisition and retention pipelines, develop growth hypotheses, and execute on scientific test plans to determine if possible opportunities lead to positive growth of Firefox. We have core members who lead the team and then supporting cross-functional members who bring insights and expertise on all touch-points of the Firefox experience. We believe that any test, regardless of the result, will lead to a continuous learning environment and a better product experience that will ultimately drive growth.
The growth team is a group of Mozillians who evaluate the current state of Firefox's user experiences, develop hypotheses, and execute on scientific test plans to determine if possible quantitative opportunities lead to positive growth of Firefox's active user base. We have core members who lead specific focus areas and then supporting cross-functional members who bring insights and expertise on all experiences across Firefox desktop and mobile. We also work with user research teams to perform qualitative research to help better understand the "why" in user behaviors and provide balance to the the quantitative insights.

Overall, we strive to:
 
* Learn something from each experiment we perform.
* Through learning, grow the usage of the Firefox product.
* With the additional usage, spread the Mozilla mission further.
* At least 1 test running every week to promote continuous learning.
 
== Our Tools ==
 
*Google Analytics
**Metrics and reporting about website user experiences.
*Optimizely
**A/B testing of different web pages and downloads.
*Firefox product data
** Firefox Health Report
** ADI pings
** Funnelcake builds
** Telemetry
*SurveyGizmo
**Surveying users on key web pages.
*UserTesting.com
**Real people testing different experiences with videos and data of their test.
 
== Our Process ==
 
After we define a growth model for Firefox, we will use the following process for optimization and growth experiments.
 
# Define what is success and how it can be measured
# Develop insights, identify bottlenecks, or constraints in our user experiences
# Create a hypothesis based on an identified bottleneck or constraint
# Prioritize backlog of tests
# Perform test
# Identify and communicate key learnings and define next steps
# Repeat
 
We do growth testing on various [[Growth_Team/Touchpoints|touchpoints across Mozilla's websites, products, and services]].

Who are we?

The growth team is a group of Mozillians who evaluate the current state of Firefox's user experiences, develop hypotheses, and execute on scientific test plans to determine if possible quantitative opportunities lead to positive growth of Firefox's active user base. We have core members who lead specific focus areas and then supporting cross-functional members who bring insights and expertise on all experiences across Firefox desktop and mobile. We also work with user research teams to perform qualitative research to help better understand the "why" in user behaviors and provide balance to the the quantitative insights.

Focus areas

We are focused on the 5 growth metrics across Firefox desktop, mobile, services and apps.

  • Acquisition (acquiring new users)
  • Activation (having a great initial user experiences)
  • Retention (users staying engaged and happy over time)
  • Referral (happy users telling non users to try Firefox)
  • Revenue (sustainability and diversification)

What we do

  • Analyze web and product metrics and analytics to uncover new insights.
  • Develop hypotheses potential opportunities on any of the 5 growth metrics
  • Develop test plans & create prototypes to upcoming experiments
  • Run scientific tests & analyze results
  • Apply learnings to user experiences and future engineering roadmaps
  • Share learnings and work cross-functional on prioritization and process
