Online Community Metrics
A community must support business goals and
the goals of the current (and prospective) community
                  members themselves.
Three things to remember


 1.   If the business goals are not defined, the community risks being
      feature-driven and may suffer from shiny-object syndrome.

 2.   If the community members are not involved in the success-
      definition process, the community risks being irrelevant to its
      members.

 3.   If business goals are undefined, or if community members
      themselves are not involved in the definition of the community
      (it’s for them, after all), the community’s risk of failure grows
      substantially.
Types of community metrics



   There are a number of types of community metrics that can tie to the
   business goals:

   • Financial Metrics
   • Activity Metrics
   • Other Metrics
