  Ah, makes sense, thanks. I get the Time to Customer Value now (customer of the user ordering due to the new feature). Not sure about the Time to Value. Who is billing who? Pivotal the user?

    We sell a bunch of software subscriptions these days. If someone buys or increases their subscription on a new feature, that'd tick the marker. It's probably not precisely measurable, but it's a great thought exercise. It prompts us to think about the entire process from noticing an idea to a customer deciding to buy. And Time to Customer's Customer Value -- I forgot that TTC^2V was the alternative name -- is even better. It makes us think about the journey from us noticing a need, developing it, releasing, customer installing, their team using it, releasing to their customers, who decide it's worth paying for. When you turn that into a loop, you get something very like the Gitlab master plan. We call it the "Circle of Code", Onsi Fakhouri talked about it early this year: https://youtu.be/7APZD0me1nU?t=23m6s https://youtu.be/7APZD0me1nU?t=23m6s
