• Make data-driven decisions: Use data to help you form hypotheses about how to prioritize your roadmap, and validate your decisions. Look for trends in the data to help you pinpoint where customers might be experiencing inefficiencies and unnecessary pain on the platform.
• Connect with customers daily: Building relationships with our customers is key to helping them get the most out of Vercel.
