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.

The North Star Metric sits causally between product usage and long-term revenue
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
