Purpose
Master revenue and retention metrics to understand SaaS business momentum, evaluate product-market fit, and make data-driven decisions about growth investments. Use this to calculate key metrics, interpret trends, identify problems early, and communicate business health to stakeholders.
This is not a business intelligence tool—it's a framework for PMs to understand which metrics matter, how to calculate them correctly, and what actions to take based on the numbers.
Key Concepts
Revenue Metrics Family
The "top-line" metrics that measure how much money the business generates.
Revenue — Total money earned from selling products/services before expenses. The "top line" of the income statement.
- Why PMs care: Every feature should connect to revenue (direct or indirect). If you can't articulate revenue impact, prioritization becomes impossible.
- Formula: Sum of all customer payments in a period
- Benchmark: Growth rate matters more than absolute number (context-dependent by stage)
