Step 3: Define Goals & Metrics
Activity 4: Brainstorm for Success
5
Now you’ll run another 90-second brainstorm for each indicator of success with
the following questions: How will we know we’ve succeeded? Specifically, what
can you do, capture, test or observe to prove that you achieved your goal? Be
creative; there are no right or wrong answers.

On a whiteboard or a large piece of butcher paper, draw three quadrants. Label
them “Must,” Might” and “Later.”Now sort all the methods you identified in your
brainstorms for each Indicator into the following categories:
•
•
•
Must: important and easy to achieve
Might: metric is important but the method difficult to achieve
Later: metric is less essential to immediate success

Choose 1-2 methods from the “must” category to track for each of your important
indicators. If one of your indicators doesn’t have any methods that land in the
“must” category, consider putting it aside for future consideration.
Use the Indicators of Success Worksheet to assign responsibility for each method
and document progress throughout the program.
