What are Metrics
Metrics are numbers.
Think of Metrics as the underlying numbers driving your KPIs, Priorities, Critical Numbers and Quarterly actions.
What is the difference between Metrics, Priorities, Critical Numbers, and KPIs?
Metrics are the connection point between all of the visualizations in the software. To use an integration, you connect it with a Metric. To update the same number in multiple places, connect it with a metric!
KPIs are visualizations of other items in the software. You can visualize any of the measurements from Quarterly Actions on the One Page Plan to your Priorities and Critical Numbers or even a standalone metric (Preview Release!).
Priorities can be KPI driven which means you can measure the priority with a number. That number can be a standalone that is only on the priority and not connected. Or it can be a metric that is able to connect to other components or integrations.
Critical Numbers are the 5 numbers that are elevated to a higher status. These numbers are often leading indicators of success for your team. The numbers you want your team obsessing over and rallying behind this quarter.
