Metrics that matter

As product leaders we often keep an eye on the metrics that matter for the success of our products.

The slogan that we believe in is -

“What gets measured, gets managed or improved.”

If you can’t measure something, how can you improve it.

Metrics are measurable data to gauge the performance of something. For example, a software product’s success metric could be, how many people downloaded the software, how many people are using the product every day, or how many hours do users spend on the product everyday. These metric give us a sense of the success of the product.

However, metrics apply in life too. People who live intentionally have metrics that matter. One such person is Rajesh Setty. Rajesh has a list of metrics that he calls metrics that matter. He uses this metrics to review the quality of his life every year end.

He has a list of parameters that he uses to gauge the effectiveness of his life. I asked him what are his metrics that matter and he was kind enough to share it with me. These are his metrics that matter to him:

Each of these metrics is a separate topic in itself. I will avoid explaining all of them for now, but the larger point is that having such a list of metrics for your life that you can measure and keep score increases the effectiveness of your life immensely.

I use a similar list of metrics that matter for my life too.

My metrics that matter for 2022 are:

These were my metrics that matter.

What are your metrics that matter?
