Plan: Measuring Your Product's Value Moment
Understanding Product Metrics and KPIs
Defining Value for Target Users
- Product metrics and KPIs should be centered around the value your product delivers to its target users, focusing on the problems it solves.
- Identify key actions that signify a user is deriving value from the product, which helps in defining relevant metrics.
Example: DocuSign's Value Proposition
- Using DocuSign as an example, the product offers electronic signature solutions that provide convenience in executing contracts.
- The convenience offered by DocuSign is not easily quantifiable; thus, identifying key actions like signing a contract becomes essential for measuring value.
Measuring User Actions
- Each time a user signs a contract on DocuSign, they experience the convenience of executing contracts effectively.
- The expected natural frequency of this action (signing contracts) could be monthly, reflecting typical business practices. This frequency aids in understanding how often users engage with the product.
