> estimated impact of +$100M ARR
Revenue impact can be tricky, because more times than not - it’s a function of the size of the company you work for more than anything else.
Relative impact (%), along with absolutely impact ($) - is the more meaningful way to quantify impact.
Eg
Increase revenue by 0.1% (revenue went from $100.0B to $100.1)
Increase revenue by 100% (revenue went from $0.1B to $0.2)

- esafak 3y agoIt doesn't balance things out; it just makes them incomparable. It also depends on how mature the product is.
- angarg12 3y agoYou are right that big scale and high margins means that a small effort can have an outsized impact. I use ARR as a proxy for the importance of the project. To give you the details, the relative impact is in the 1-10% range for my org. This was a multi-year, multi-team effort to deliver a significantly complex and ambiguous system (the first of it's kind in my org) and it will have a big impact beyond the monetary value.
