Your question is Project KPI Selection. Take a moment with it on the right.

Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).

Problem

What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you consider important for measuring success in a project at Datadog? Explain how you would select and prioritize KPIs for a Datadog product or workflow without optimizing for activity alone. 1. Identify primary outcome, leading, adoption, and guardrail KPIs. 2. Define each metric and explain how it supports project goals. 3. Describe the data required and how you would report results. Available data may include Datadog usage events, monitor activity, dashboards, customer account attributes, support records, and product experiment logs.
