The abundance of data can be a bane as much as it is a boon. While marketers now have plenty of data to back up their campaigns and strategies, that also means they have to go through the tedious process of sifting through a sea of data to find what they need to measure performance and what can help them make a case for the value of their work. This could easily lead to analysis paralysis in which they get so overwhelmed with data that they end up not making any decision at all.

In reply to Matt. The Heatmap for WordPress plugin by HeatMap, Inc allows heatmap tracking for 5 pages for free. That should be enough to test what is getting the most clicks. For example, you can track the click rate for a CTA button for a set period of time. Then you can make a change to the CTA button, and track its click rate for the same period of time.

We often hear Agile praised because of time saved, amount of work completed, and wasted budget recovered. “It’s faster!”. “We get more done!”. “We’re saving money!”. The faster pace, clearer priorities, and higher levels of productivity are always the first benefits of Agile that teams notice.
