In a product-led organization, you are measured on Outcomes, not outputs:

- Outcome Achievement: Meeting the specific success criteria defined in your Business Cases (e.g., reducing purchasing lead times).
- Strategic Alignment: Ensuring 100% of your roadmap items are scalable for multiple customers and not bespoke requests.
