Duolingo's Growth team is launching a new weekly growth review with Product and Data Science partners to improve decision-making across acquisition, activation, and retention experiments for the English-learning app. Today, teams review metrics in separate meetings, which causes conflicting priorities, slow experiment follow-through, and repeated debate over the same data. You are the program manager responsible for designing and operationalizing a single weekly review that executives can trust.
The working team includes 2 Product Managers, 2 Data Scientists, 1 Growth Engineering Manager, 4 engineers, and 1 designer. The review must be live in 3 weeks because the VP of Growth wants a standardized operating cadence before Q4 planning begins. This matters because the team is managing 14 concurrent growth experiments and has missed two launch decisions in the last month due to unclear ownership.
The VP of Growth wants fast decisions and visible accountability. Product Managers want the meeting to drive roadmap trade-offs and unblock launches. Data Scientists want rigor in metric interpretation and less time spent on ad hoc requests. Engineering wants fewer last-minute priority changes caused by unclear experiment readouts.
