Problem

Scenario

Your team is launching a new feature and different stakeholders are proposing different ways to measure success. Some want to optimize for adoption, others for engagement, retention, or revenue impact. You need to decide which single metric should be the primary measure of success.

Question

How would you decide which metric should be the primary success metric for a new feature?

What This Tests

  • Choosing a north star style feature metric
  • Separating leading indicators from the primary metric
  • Using guardrails to avoid local optimization
  • Defining success criteria before launch
