Case Study: 'TechFin Solutions'
TechFin Solutions provides a SaaS platform for personal finance management. They have recently noticed that while their engineering team is deploying features rapidly (high velocity), customer retention is dropping. Users report that the new features are complex and don't solve their core budgeting problems. The Product Manager wants to shift focus from output to outcome.
Which metric should TechFin Solutions prioritize to align with this shift?
Show answer details
Correct answer: D
To shift from output (velocity, deployments) to outcome (value), the company must measure customer satisfaction and actual value realization. NPS measures satisfaction, and Feature Usage Retention measures if the features are actually solving problems over time.
