Growth Team
Who are we?
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.

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 touchpoints across Mozilla's websites, products, and services.
