Hey Mal,

In Align, Metrics aren’t just standalone figures. When connected properly, a single Metric can drive a Priority, Critical Number, KPI Card, and Quarterly Target on the OPSP.

That means when you update a Priority tied to a Metric, that change carries through anywhere that Metric is used. No duplicate entry. No disconnects.

If you're planning to add new Critical Numbers, set fresh Quarterly Targets, or create number-driven Priorities for Q4, start by asking:

➡️ Are we linking this to an existing Metric?
➡️ Are we reusing the same Metric where we’re tracking the same number?

It’s a simple step that makes updates faster and reporting more accurate—and it keeps everyone focused on what matters most.

Do this: Take 10 minutes this week to audit your Metrics. If you have a Revenue metric, is it connected everywhere it should be?  Are your Critical Numbers all driven by Metrics?  Are your Metrics doing the heavy lifting they should be?
