Continuously Improve Your Website by Using Customer Feedback and Web Analytics: An IRS Case Study

Program

On Thursday, June 29th, Kira Prin and Sam Chapman from the IRS joined the HCD Community of Practice to share how they collect user feedback and use web analytics to improve IRS Free File, one of the IRS’s most widely used applications.


During the Community of Practice, Kira and Sam discussed how to:

  • Design a user feedback survey,
  • Continuously monitor, analyze, and utilize user feedback and web analytics to make better decisions,
  • Make the case for changes to managers and others who may not have analytics expertise,
  • Turn actionable data into insights and make enhancements to your website and digital services, and
  • Ensure your team has the key skills in place to do this type of work.
