How can you tell if your actions are achieving the desired outcome?
Without measurement, you can’t know whether your actions are producing the intended effect.
Metaphor
Working toward an outcome without measuring progress is like trying to lose weight without ever stepping on a scale. You might feel busy and disciplined, but you have no proof you’re moving toward your goal.
Without measurement, there’s no way to know if your actions are delivering the outcome you set out to achieve.
