I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. In my team, everyone seems to have their own idea of what “doing well” means. One person cares about output speed, another only looks at quality checks, and someone else tracks how many tasks they touch in a week. It gets messy fast. I recently realized we were celebrating totally different things after a project wrap-up, and it felt like we weren't even talking about the same work. How do teams keep things moving in the same direction when everyone measures success in their own way?

    I’ve run into that before, especially when our marketing and product teams tried to align. What helped us was getting our metrics visible in one place instead of juggling spreadsheets and people’s personal tracking habits. I came across https://usermaven.com/blog/kpi-dashboard when we were trying to clean up our process, and it pushed us to build a shared dashboard that made expectations clearer. Once everyone saw how their work connected, the tension dropped a lot. It wasn’t about forcing people to measure the same way but letting everyone understand the bigger picture

    Reading both of your posts makes me think about a situation I watched unfold at another company. The team wasn’t arguing, but each person focused on a completely different angle of their work. From the outside, it was obvious they were all doing their best, but the lack of shared visibility made things look uncoordinated. Once they set up a habit of reviewing progress together, everything felt smoother, and even their casual conversations became more grounded.
