NorthStarMetric OKRs
The single metric (or small set) the business optimizes for; engineering priorities should trace back to it.
Why we need this / what value this brings
A single shared metric aligns otherwise-independent decisions (what to build next, what to cut) toward the same outcome.
When to use this
As soon as there's more than one person making product decisions — otherwise priorities diverge silently.
How to use or implement this
Choose a metric that's a leading indicator of revenue/retention (e.g. completed bookings/month for Localz), not a vanity metric (signups).
