Artifacts

Goals

Purpose

Convert the problem into measurable outcomes that the program can be held accountable for after delivery.

How to use it

  • Write the target as an outcome, not a feature or activity.
  • Tie the target to a baseline, metric, time horizon, and evidence source.
  • Confirm that sponsors agree the target is worth funding and measuring.

Example

Reduce onboarding cycle time from 18 days to 7 days for standard accounts within two quarters of launch.

Owner

The business sponsor owns the target; the program lead ensures it is measurable and traceable through Embed.
