Platinum PM
A framework for approaching this metrics question in a Facebook PM interview:
Clarifying Questions
Is there any specific improvement that you have done to Facebook Messenger ? its just a generic change and we can assume it will increase engagement
Have your A/B Tested it? Any specific metrics you have tracked? No,We have to start testing with a new set of metrics.
Goal of Messenger
The goal of messenger is to be go to platform for messaging for everyone. It allows users to connect with each other one on one or in a group conversations. The whole motive behind any improvement is to increase these conversations thus increasing engagement or time spent on Messenger which is a Facebook property.
User Journey
User comes to Facebook —> Sees his/her friends online —> starts a conversation —> the friends replies back and this continues till the end of the conversation --> may add more friends to the conversation and so on.
Alternatively user comes to Facebook —> drops a message to a friend who is offline —> he/she comes online and responds to it and so on.
Behaviours
The two main behaviours I can think of are : Sending Messages and Reading Messages
Secondary Behaviours would be starting a conversation, add more friends to the conversation or sending different types of messages to your friends such as text ,video, GIFs, Photos, Docs etc.
