Ask HN: For repeat applicants to YC, how should you measure the progress?
There is a question in the application which talks about the progress you have made. What do you guys think is the best way to approach this?
Where I am confused is that the two major things almost all of us have worked on is 1/ Users and 2/ Product. When they are talking about progess, is it the work done/efforts put in, or the numbers/achievements? Or something else?
Any thoughts on how to best answer this would be really useful for all the applicants here.
- mchakravarti7 8y agoThe amount of work/effort put in will have translated to something that's more easily quantifiable/measurable like growth (what kind differs from company to company), improvement in product or even the team. Agree with tzm -- you probably know best about what metrics you'd want to share in that response
- tzm 8y agoMeasuring progress should display an ability to quantify and communicate value. So, it's up to you to decide which metrics are best for your company / product / project.
