About North Star Framework

The North Star Framework centres a product team around a single North Star Metric that captures core value delivery, with 3–5 input metrics that teams directly influence.

Input metrics are the leading indicators teams can directly move with their work
Work streams map to input metrics — any work disconnected from an input is suspect
Review NSM and inputs weekly; adjust work streams when metrics diverge from expectations
