Main lesson

Four levels, planned backwards

diagram

Start from the business result and work back to reaction. Decide the data source for each level before launch.

  • Level 4 — business metric and owner
  • Level 3 — observable behaviour, measured how and by whom
  • Level 2 — capability evidence from realistic tasks
  • Level 1 — usefulness, not happiness

Practical measurement

Manager observation, system data, ticket categories, spot checks. xAPI where you need granular behaviour data.

Examples from practice
