Are We Focused on the Wrong Metrics for the Long Run?
However, I would challenge you to look at your reports and your metrics and ask yourselves, "SO WHAT?" Don't measure for the sake of measuring, and don't collect for the sake of collecting — make sure you have a good answer to the SO WHAT question. What is each of your metrics helping you do? How is it informing you? If you don't have a good answer then kill the metric. There's not enough time in the day.
