HOW TO MEASURE THE IMPACT OF FEATURES

smashingmagazine.com8 min read

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

The TARS framework offers a simple, repeatable way to measure feature impact by combining four metrics - Target audience size, Adoption, Retention, and Satisfaction - then mapping features on a 2×2 matrix to guide product strategy. By focusing on meaningful usage and user experience rather than blunt metrics like conversion rate, TARS helps teams connect UX work to real business value and decide which features to improve, prioritize, or rethink.
