## Business Goal
Fast track GitLab to becoming a data-driven organisation by meeting the data needs of the Product team. Specifically:
* Enable Product to measure stage-specific usage activity, including read activity (frontend; a user in GitLab views a page) and write activity (backend; an object is created)
* Track stage-specific health metrics like [SMAU](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/metrics/#sts=Stage%20Monthly%20Active%20Users%20(SMAU)).
## Exit Criteria
* Create a Periscope dashboard for a single stage that measures SMAU and feature use on GitLab.com.
* Ensure we can replicate this for other stages with great documentation.
