What are some interesting metrics/analysis you look at to present to your customer?

Brian Hartley

There are a lot of generic metrics out there that most CS teams may or may not share, I am curious what are some of the more interesting takes you have shared in the past?

For me, a few stand out

• Daily Active Users divided by Daily Case Count.  I wanted to start tracking the ratio to see if things trended up or down over time.
• Count of overall activity (as defined by how we have event tracking set up) divided by unique log-ins.  This would give me a number that would show, on average, how many "actions" per user was occurring.  At my old job, anything below a 1.0 was not great as that would suggest a lot of log-ins but not much in the form of site interaction

Brian,

We present usage data to our customers as evidence that they're receiving value. 

Imagine if one of your vendors, SalesForce, came to you and said "Hey Brian, congratulations your team has 20 active users this month compared to last month which was only 16!".  What would your response be?

Our view is that product usage is pretty low on the value measurement maturity scale.  It's far more important to start with the customer's goals, the eocosystem of products/processses/services needed to hit those goals, and the measurement towards their goals being hit.
