Some teams will define one key metric, sometimes called the Local North Star, which they continuously try to improve on. For example, the customer onboarding team may focus on the % of Customers that Successfully Onboard, while the Search team may focus on Click-Through Rates of Top Ten Search Results. In fact in some quarters this may be the only key result they’ll need. However, the goal is never just to grow a number. The teams should also set objectives, or team missions, for example “All customers onboard fast and successfully” or “Searchers immediately find what they’re after.”
