SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This workflow helps product teams define measurable, aligned success criteria for new products and features, preventing scope creep and misalignment.

Core Features & Use Cases

North Star alignment: Identify the mission, model, and top-line metrics that guide the initiative.
Funnel-based mapping: Break the user journey into key stages and map success signals.
Proxy metrics & trade-offs: Propose robust proxies with formulas and plan risk trade-offs.
PRD integration: Feed success criteria into PRD goals, monitoring, and risk planning.
Real-world example: Demonstrate how to apply the workflow to a hypothetical feature.

Quick Start

Simple prompt: provide a ready-to-use metrics plan for a new feature by following the steps in this workflow. This will produce North Star alignment, funnel stages, proxy metrics with formulas, and a trade-off plan.

Frequently Asked Questions about metrics-definition

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema

How do I define product metrics that align with a North Star goal?▼

You define North Star metrics by aligning the product mission and model with top-line success criteria, then breaking the user journey into funnel stages to map measurable success signals.

What are proxy metrics and how do they work in product management?▼

Proxy metrics are substitute indicators used to estimate top-line North Star goals, functioning by applying explicit mathematical formulas to map user funnel success signals.

How do I integrate success criteria into a PRD?▼

Integrate success criteria into a PRD by feeding standardized North Star metrics, funnel maps, and proxy metric formulas directly into the document's goal-setting, monitoring, and risk trade-off planning sections.

What's the best way to plan metric trade-offs for a new feature?▼

Plan metric trade-offs by proposing robust proxy metrics with explicit formulas, documenting known risks, and creating a continuous monitoring plan to track North Star alignment during feature development.

How do I standardize goal-setting metrics to prevent scope creep?▼

Standardize goal-setting metrics by defining measurable success criteria through North Star alignment and funnel mapping, which prevents scope creep by ensuring product teams share a unified framework.

What inputs do I need to generate a complete metrics plan?▼

Generating a complete metrics plan requires inputs describing company context, product scope, and a structured workflow to deliver a prioritized metric set with explicit formulas, risks, and a monitoring plan.
