Time to First Value (TTFV)

TTFV tracks how quickly new users achieve a meaningful outcome. Here we measure the share of signups who reach first value within a chosen window. Faster time‑to‑value improves activation and retention.

Defining first value

First value should reflect a clear, outcome‑oriented success (e.g., sent first campaign, closed first ticket), not just clicking around. Track prerequisites separately under activation to avoid mixing signals.

Benchmarks

  • >= 60% Strong: most users succeed quickly.
  • 30–60% Moderate: progress, but more guidance may help.
  • < 30% Low: investigate friction and value clarity.

Ways to improve

  • Streamline setup and reduce mandatory steps before value.
  • Offer guided templates and tailored examples for common jobs‑to‑be‑done.
  • Trigger contextual nudges until the first value event occurs.
