Lagging indicators = Outcome

To name a few -

  • Revenue
  • Market share
  • NPS/ CSAT
  • CAC
  • Churn rate
  • Retention rate
Leading indicators = Signals
To name a few -
  • Acquisition rate
  • Activation rate
  • DAU/ WAU/ MAU
  • Time to onboard
  • Task completion time
While driving a product's success, it is important to look at the leading indicators, because they are quick to measure and hence can lead to faster course correction as and when required.
