16. One Metric That Matters
● Pick one metric that is critical to biz health
● Focus the team around it (put it on screen!)
● Optimize the hell out of it
● Pick a new metric as biz grows and changes
18. Case Study - Wooboard OMTM
PHASE METRIC TYPE METRIC
Is there a problem? User Interest Company sign ups
Do we have a solution? Engagement Woos per user
Is there a market? Revenue % of premium
conversions
This is a classic SaaS OMTM progression. See also Backupify.
● Phase 1 - site visits
● Phase 2 - trials
● Phase 3 - monthly recurring revenue
Takeaway - Pick an OMTM (or at least get data focused)
19. "The core idea behind Lean
Analytics is this: by knowing the
kind of business you are, and the
stage you are at, you can track and
optimize the One Metric that
Matters to your startup right now."
