Making metrics actionable
Does the metric beginwith a number?• “number of...” [ # ]• “average number of...” [avg ]• “percent of...” [ % ]
1 Is there a time basis?• “per week” [ ___/wk ]• “per month” [ ___/mo]
2 Is there an object basis? * not required, but super-helpful• “per user” [ ___/user]• “per user per week” (fancy!)

a great metric......makes you look at all the other metrics and say “none of those other numbers matter if we donʼt get this right first.”
a good metric......measures the usage of your product by a person. The usage should be specific to features that deliver value to your user.
* In this example, posting an update is a key feature of the product.
