This week in Glare: we’re digging into usability, the clearest signal of how well your design supports users across a full interaction path. Morgan breaks down how we calculate this UX metric to spot hesitation, drop-off, and friction early.
We also dropped a new set of clips from Chris Becker on bringing UX scenarios to life with AI, and Dave Huber’s post on proving design’s value through OKRs and KPIs is making waves.
Check out the usability update, replay our latest webinar, and explore how the latest Glare release makes the platform easier to use across login, content, and metrics. If you haven’t yet, join the forum to get early access and start contributing.
Let’s keep pushing forward… under pressure.

Usability measures how easily and successfully users can complete key actions within a product experience. In the Glare Framework, we calculate Usability by tracking the success rate of multiple interactions across a single screen or flow. This helps identify not just whether users succeed, but where they might hesitate, drop off, or require additional effort.
A high Usability score means your design supports user goals with minimal friction across the full interaction path. Let us know if you'd like to suggest edits or learn more. |

By aligning around outcomes, measuring user behavior, and connecting design metrics to company growth, teams can demonstrate design’s ROI and drive real business results.

Aligning teams around the customer journey needs to happen in short, iterative cycles, not quarterly planning. The biggest breakdowns come from misaligned goals, slow discovery-to-delivery handoffs, and a lack of real-time feedback. What’s working now is starting small, aligning the journey with shared goals, defined metrics, and tight feedback loops to drive fast, meaningful impact.
→ The challenge of aligning the customer journey isn’t new.
