Welcome to your interview.

The question is on your right: Choosing Metrics for New Programs. Take a moment with it first.

Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.

Problem

Scenario

You are launching a new internal process or cross-functional program and need a clear way to judge whether it is working. You want metrics that reflect adoption, quality, and business impact, without creating noise or tracking too many things.

Question

How do you decide what to measure when launching a new process or program?

What this tests

  • Choosing a primary KPI tied to the program goal
  • Separating leading indicators from lagging indicators
  • Using a north star metric without losing guardrails
  • Avoiding metric overload and vanity metrics
