Survival metrics put resource allocation and company incentives, both implied and direct, in front of the team before a project begins and again at regular intervals, giving permission to act quickly.

🖥️💻About this event

Product teams often know that a project needs to change direction, but they don’t have a way to make that change safely and quickly. There isn’t a clear and simple framework to determine when to pivot, leaving the decision completely off the table or coming way later when it should. The cost for this hesitation can range from a delay in a successful project, trust deteriorating between teams, or even product failure.

Survival metrics help a product team determine if an initiative is worth investing in more, pivoting or stopping completely. They are a forcing function to prevent product teams from suffering due to the sunk cost fallacy. Survival metrics put resource allocation and company incentives, both implied (think politics) and direct (think data), in front of the team before a project begins and again at regular intervals, giving permission to act quickly.

📊📈What you can expect to learn
• Strategies for more communication between disciplines that work with product and seem to clash (i.e. product and engineering)
• Strategies for less siloing for teams that seem like they are alone (i.e. marketing feels alone)
• More strategy & value alignment by incentives being laid bare ( i.e. important metrics are more visible to more teams.)
• A longitudinal outcome – Your company’s real values are surfaced through repeated visibility.
