As a product team we need a Northstar Metric to guide us towards success: a metric that represents the vision of our product, aligns everybody on the team towards our goals and help us make product decisions.

So, how do we define it and, moreover, how can we determine the steps we can take in our day to day work to impact it?  The North Star Framework by Amplitude helps us define all this in a structured and collaborative way. In this episode we discuss what is this framework, when should we use it and the benefits, as well as how to use it.

We go through the core elements do the framework that can be defined in a collaborative workshop:
- The North Star
- The Input Metrics
- The “work”

We also explain and discuss with examples, the Northstar framework checklist, the list of what makes a good metric:
- It expresses value
- It represents vision and strategy
- It’s a leading indicator
- It’s actionable
- It’s understandable
- It’s measurable
- It’s not a vanity metric

To know more a about the framework and how to run the workshop, you can have a look to the original Northstar Framework Playbook by Amplitude
