How To Setup A Growth Team For Maximum Impact

Brian Balfour

Part of every team’s identity is how they measure success, and each team measures their success in different ways. Product teams might be measured by NPS, feature output, or possibly by metrics. An engineering team’s success may be measured by uptime and reliability among other things, and a design team’s success could be measured on usability. But measuring the success of the growth team is a tougher question.
