Follow the reading, unpack the idea, and put it into practice. At your pace.
You will define an outcome measure, a baseline, and a balanced review of results.
Start with the business problem the app or agent is meant to improve. Select a measure close to that problem, such as the share of handoffs returned for missing information. Define exactly what is counted, which records are included, and the review period. Activity measures such as logins can show use, but they do not by themselves establish better business outcomes.
Record the current process before the change when possible. Use the same definitions and a reasonably comparable mix of work after release. Note changes in volume, team size, seasonality, or case complexity that could affect the result. Treat small samples and incomplete records as limitations rather than turning them into confident claims.
Pair the main outcome with a measure of quality or unintended burden. A faster handoff may be less useful if errors increase or another team absorbs extra work. Review the evidence with the process owner and the people doing the tasks. Decide whether to continue, adjust, or stop the change, and record what will be checked next.
Example to adapt
A fictional team tracks returned handoffs divided by all handoffs reviewed during the same period. It also watches whether the receiving team can start work without additional clarification. If the mix of customer requests changes, the team notes that difference before attributing an improvement to the new app.
Try it with your team
Define one business problem, the numerator and denominator of a useful measure, the source, the owner, and the review period. Add a baseline plan and one quality guardrail. Write one reason the result might change even if the app had no effect.
