The designer should establish KPIs and instill checkpoints in the product development process to ensure alignment to the vision of a sustainable future digital commerce strategy. KPIs stand for Key Performance Indicators, which are metrics that measure the progress and success of a product or service against predefined goals and objectives. Checkpoints are moments in the product development process where the team reviews the work done so far, validates the assumptions and hypotheses, and adjusts the plan or direction as needed.
Both methods help monitor and evaluate the alignment of the product with the vision, and ensure that the product delivers value to both users and business. References:
