About this guide
The Defining Your Adoption Metrics framework by Atlan transforms how data teams measure success. Instead of tracking logins or clicks, this guide helps you build a data-driven approach to adoption — one that connects user behaviors to real business outcomes. It walks teams through defining persona-based KPIs, tracking leading and lagging indicators, and using tools like Atlan’s Reporting Center, Mixpanel, or raw data access to monitor progress.
By focusing on meaningful signals of engagement — from metadata enrichment to workflow integration — organizations can uncover where adoption is thriving and where enablement is needed. With structured storytelling and actionable insights, this framework empowers teams to move beyond surface-level activity and demonstrate how governance adoption drives trust, efficiency, and measurable business value.
