Metric Overload Paralysis

Measuring everything or nothing. Three failure modes teams fall into: (1) Measure nothing—vibes and hopes guide decisions (2) Measure vanity metrics that don't change behavior—"we built 50 dashboards!" (3) Measure so much you have metric overload—37 metrics in a dashboard nobody can remember. The irony? Teams working on large-scale data transformation are VERY RARELY data-driven about themselves. If our data/analytics teams aren't data-driven, what hope does the rest of the organization have? Zero.
