Success Metrics
There are two formatting options available. The traditional desired outcome statement is a structure used in the Outcome-Driven Innovation methodology. Since many stakeholders - especially when involved with marketing or UX teams - push back on the awkward nature of desired outcomes statements since people don’t talk like that, the alternative is a natural language structure that gets to the heart of the outcome and tries to avoid tasks and activities where feasible.
This catalog contains 20 potential metrics using each formatting option. You will likely need to reduce this set for a survey. The number of statements that have been generated is arbitrary and can be expanded to accommodate your needs.
Desired Outcome Statements (ODI)
- Minimize the time it takes to record the cleaning steps, e.g., writing down procedures, noting techniques, etc.
- Minimize the time it takes to document the cleaning supplies used, e.g., listing detergents, noting quantities, etc.
- Minimize the time it takes to capture before and after photos, e.g., taking pictures, organizing images, etc.
- Minimize the time it takes to document any issues encountered, e.g., noting stains, recording damages, etc.
- Minimize the time it takes to record the duration of the cleaning process, e.g., noting start and end times, tracking time spent on each step, etc.
- Minimize the time it takes to document the effectiveness of the cleaning methods, e.g., noting stain removal, recording cleanliness levels, etc.
- Minimize the time it takes to document any adjustments made during cleaning, e.g., changing methods, using different supplies, etc.

Apply this to Customer Success Statements only. Everything should fit together nicely. Here’s an article where I introduced the concept. Feel free to devise your own version for Desired Outcome Statements as this does not apply to their format directly.
