KPI Framework & Role Definition
KPI Framework & Role Definition
This phase establishes a shared understanding of what success looks like across YouTube data activation projects. It includes defining business-relevant KPIs, outlining data requirements, and assigning clear roles and responsibilities across marketing, analytics, and engineering teams. The goal is to ensure alignment on objectives, ownership of workflows, and accountability for delivering and using performance insights. This foundation helps reduce ambiguity and supports efficient collaboration during implementation.
Data Roadmap
Data Roadmap
The roadmap is shaped through collaborative workshops that define concrete data activation use cases for YouTube. These workshops serve as the foundation to align on what is to be achieved and how to get there. Identified use cases are prioritized based on implementation effort and expected business impact, and structured into phases to support realistic, outcome-oriented planning. Past initiatives and results are reviewed to build on existing capabilities and avoid duplication or running into past issues. As part of this process, data availability and infrastructure are assessed to ensure each use case is technically feasible and connected to measurable goals.
