Example Use Case: A product manager for an e-commerce website notices a high cart abandonment rate. By deploying the “Gauge Task Accomplishment” survey, they discover that users struggle to locate the "Apply Discount Code" field during checkout. Users also report difficulty navigating back to their cart from the product page. Armed with this data, the team makes the discount field more prominent and improves the navigation flow, leading to a significant reduction in cart abandonment and increased conversions.
