Tracking Success
Is progress toward goals measured clearly and transparently?
Can the team see the impact of its effort? Visible progress sustains momentum.
What We Measure
Whether progress toward goals is measured clearly and transparently, so the team can see the impact of its effort. We surface whether momentum is visible or whether the team works without knowing if it is winning.
Why It Matters
Visible progress sustains momentum. Together with Clear Expectations, tracking produces Dependability; together with Business Interface, it produces Impact. When a team cannot see its progress, effort feels futile and the feedback that drives improvement never arrives.
When It's Working
- The team can see whether it is making progress
- Success is defined in advance, not rationalised after
- Measures are transparent and shared, not hoarded
When It's Not
- Nobody can say whether the last quarter went well
- Goals shift so that they are always "met"
- Progress is felt as vibes, not evidence
Connected Components
No component works in isolation. Tracking Success combines with others to produce Dependability and Impact.
