Welcome to your interview.

The question is on your right: Define Feature Leading and Lagging Metrics. 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.

Scenario

You are a product growth analyst on a consumer travel app. The team has just launched a new feature and wants to track whether it is creating real value, not just early clicks. You need to define which metrics should move first, which ones should move later, and how the two sets should relate to the product goal.

Question

How would you define leading and lagging indicators for a new product feature?
