Senior PM at my last job told me I was overcomplicating our onboarding flow

They said I had 8 steps when we really only needed 3. I pushed back at first but after mapping it out I realized half the fields weren't even being used by customers. Cut it down to 4 steps and our activation rate went from 62% to 79% in 2 months. Has anyone else gotten feedback that forced you to simplify something you thought was already fine?

Activation rate went from 62% to 79%" - those numbers don't quite add up to 2 months of data.

@leo_black76 I actually see it a little different though. 62% to 79% over two months is a pretty solid jump depending on when you're measuring it. If those numbers are from different cohort weeks or different user segments, that gap makes more sense. Still a meaningful improvement even if it's not perfectly linear month over month.

Did you push back hard at first or just kinda nod along?
