# Success Metrics Evaluation ## Purpose / When to Activate Activate after Delivery to verify outcomes, not just outputs. Prevents "output without outcome." Use when: - Success metrics were defined in the PRD or Story - Delivery is complete and runtime data is available - Objective quality gates are required --- ## Process 1. Map each Story to its defined success metrics 2. Measure artefacts and runtime results against targets 3. Detect underperformance and partial success 4. Generate actionable improvement insights --- ## Outputs - Story-by-story KPI report - Metric vs target comparisons - Identified gaps with root signals - Improvement suggestions linked to backlog items --- ## Quality Checks - Each metric is measured against a defined target - Gaps are identified with root cause signals - Recommendations are linked to specific backlog items - No invented metrics — only those defined in artefacts --- ## Non-Goals This skill must NOT: - Redefine success metrics post-delivery - Make product decisions about gaps - Substitute for `qa-review` **Ensures delivery creates real impact. Makes scaling predictable.**
