Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good discovery-to-delivery ratio?+
For most product teams, 25-35% discovery and 65-75% delivery is healthy. Teams below 15% discovery are not validating enough before building, leading to wasted engineering effort. Teams above 50% discovery may be over-researching and under-shipping. The right ratio depends on product maturity: new products need more discovery, mature products need more delivery.
How do we calculate cycle time if our project tracker does not track all phases?+
Start with what you have. Most trackers (Linear, Jira) track "created" and "done" dates, giving you total cycle time. For phase breakdowns, add status columns (Discovery, Spec, Review, Dev, QA, Shipped) and track transitions. Even a manual spreadsheet for one quarter gives you a useful baseline.
Should we track individual PM metrics or only team-level?+
Start with team-level metrics. They identify systemic issues (broken processes, bottlenecks, capacity problems) without creating an adversarial dynamic. Individual metrics (like features shipped per PM) are useful for career development conversations but should not be the primary Product Ops dashboard.
How often should we review these metrics?+
Report monthly, review deeply quarterly. Monthly reporting keeps the metrics visible and catches trends early. Quarterly reviews are where you set new targets, investigate root causes, and adjust the metric set itself. If a metric has been "On Track" for 3 consecutive quarters, consider replacing it with a more challenging one.
What do we do when a metric goes off track?+
First, investigate the root cause. Is it a process issue (bottleneck in approvals), a capacity issue (too many initiatives per PM), or a one-time event (key engineer was on leave)? Then decide: fix the root cause, adjust the target, or accept the miss if the trade-off was intentional. ---
