Common questions about managing your Mixpanel projects, organization, and teammates.

​
How should we structure our Mixpanel projects?

It’s recommended to set up at least two separate projects: one for Development data and another for Production data. This separation ensures that test data doesn’t mix with your live user data. The Developer Environments guide has more information. Organizations on an enterprise plan can also use Data Views within a single Mixpanel project. Data Views allow you to create focused “mini-projects” that display only the events and properties relevant to a specific team, function, or use case.

How do we keep things organized within a Mixpanel project for multiple teams?

Organizations on an enterprise plan can use Data Views to create focused “mini-projects” that display only the events and properties relevant to a specific team, function, or use case. Outside of data views, you can have teams implement standardized ways to name and describe reports to keep things organized.

​
Who should own and maintain Mixpanel projects?

It depends on your organization and goals. This blog post, A guide to data governance for product teams, goes into best practices for setting up product analytics. You can also check out the Data Governance guide.

​
How do we onboard new teammates and empower them to use Mixpanel?

The first step is giving them access to Mixpanel. The Roles & Permissions doc has information about how to invite additional users. They can check out the Launch guide for a guided walkthrough of the Mixpanel features and reports. We also have a training template that can be set up in the project. This will walk the user through the reports in Mixpanel itself. You can set it up as a pinned board so its visible to all users.

​
How can we audit or review how our team is using Mixpanel?

Organization owners and admins can see information about Mixpanel usage in the Organization settings, under the ‘Mixpanel Usage’ tab. This lets you see active users and popular boards and reports. You can see specific event and property utilization in each project’s Lexicon.
