metrics-definition

What problem does it solve?

This workflow helps product teams define measurable, aligned success criteria for new products and features, preventing scope creep and misalignment.

Core Features & Use Cases

• North Star alignment: Identify the mission, model, and top-line metrics that guide the initiative.
• Funnel-based mapping: Break the user journey into key stages and map success signals.
• Proxy metrics & trade-offs: Propose robust proxies with formulas and plan risk trade-offs.
• PRD integration: Feed success criteria into PRD goals, monitoring, and risk planning.
• Real-world example: Demonstrate how to apply the workflow to a hypothetical feature.

Quick Start

Simple prompt: provide a ready-to-use metrics plan for a new feature by following the steps in this workflow. This will produce North Star alignment, funnel stages, proxy metrics with formulas, and a trade-off plan.
