Signals are often more useful than raw measures. They provide early indications of progress. Focus on leading indicators. Be wary of vanity metrics that look good but don't reflect real progress. Double-check that your defined measures are actually trackable with the data you have available. Sometimes, you need to adjust the signal slightly to match available data.
