[Verse 1] You've got a business goal so big and wide Revenue growth or customer pride But teams are lost, they don't know how To make it happen here and now Take that mountain, break it down Into smaller hills around [Chorus] Build your metric tree today Break it down, piece by piece, find your way From the top to teams below Make it clear so they all know Branch by branch, leaf by leaf Metric trees bring sweet relief [Verse 2] Start with revenue at the crown Ask yourself how to break it down New customers times average spend Product sales that never end Each branch splits to something new Something teams can really do [Chorus] Build your metric tree today Break it down, piece by piece, find your way From the top to teams below Make it clear so they all know Branch by branch, leaf by leaf Metric trees bring sweet relief [Bridge] Leading indicators show the path Lagging metrics show the math Website clicks lead to sign-ups Feature use fills the cups Every leaf connects above To the goals that you love [Verse 3] Marketing owns the traffic flow Engineering makes it go Sales converts the leads to gold Support keeps them in the fold Each team has their part to play When they see their branch today [Chorus] Build your metric tree today Break it down, piece by piece, find your way From the top to teams below Make it clear so they all know Branch by branch, leaf by leaf Metric trees bring sweet relief [Outro] Complex goals don't have to stay Break them down and find your way Metric trees will light the path For every team to do the math
