Before going any further it must be clear, I am a really big fan of Google Analytics.

There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.

This is because the goal of good software is to fit the needs of the customer so well that the software is invisible (quote repurposed from Donald Norman ). And that is a goal we, software engineers, share with designers and marketers whose perspective is also relevant to the design of software.
