I jumped straight to DAU and retention, which felt safe but probably too surface-level.
Start by clarifying the goal of Facebook Rooms (e.g., increasing engagement, time spent, or community building) and the target user segments. Then define a north star metric that aligns with that goal, supported by a hierarchy of primary, secondary, and guardrail metrics. Finally, outline how you would track, segment, and iterate based on these metrics.
Pro tip: Emphasize that metrics should drive product decisions, not just measure them—show how you'd use the data to prioritize features and improve the product. Also, mention the importance of balancing growth metrics with user well-being and platform health.
Define what Facebook Rooms is (e.g., a feature for group video calls) and its primary objective, such as increasing meaningful social interactions or time spent with groups.
Consider different user groups (e.g., casual users, group admins, businesses) and how success might vary for each, ensuring metrics capture diverse needs.
Choose a single metric that best captures the core value, like 'number of weekly active rooms with 3+ participants' or 'time spent in Rooms per user'.
Break down the north star into input metrics (e.g., rooms created, invites sent, join rate) and output metrics (e.g., retention, satisfaction), and include guardrail metrics (e.g., reports of abuse, technical errors).
Describe how you would track these metrics (e.g., dashboards, A/B tests), set targets, and use insights to iterate on the product.
