4. Think of your own project:
Do you have metrics to keep
direction?
What are they like?
5. Just take some canvas
And use client gut feeling, right?

16. Test the proto
Metric tool: Net Promoter Score
Metric: How likely you would recommend the
product to a friend? (0 no way – 10 most
certainly)
17. Make this more accurate
By user value poker

18. Like planning poker but
Users playing for value
Play for epics or rough
features
Play for one feature at a
time
Ask users to think how
valuable the feature is to
them and then show their
cards at the same time
19. Now you have a basis
for
Value tracking
Can be added to any
task management tool
– just simply as text
Or can be drawn as
value burnup chart
20. Value Burnup
= How much user value gets
done?

24. Business metrics:
New business made
Satisfying new customer needs should create new
business
Metric: How are the numbers with the new business?
Purchases made, downloads, contact requests?
25. Metric (again): How likely you would recommend
the product to a friend? (0 no way – 10 most
certainly)
Business metrics:
Customer satisfaction
Sometime the thing is just to make the customers
happier
26. Or, the business metrics could be better lead
times – for customers or internally
Business metrics:
Lead times
Task Before After
Starting a new
account

1 screen, 11 mins,
1,6 errors
