What is Time to Value (TTV)?
A complete guide to understanding time to value (ttv) and why it matters for customer success teams.
Definition
“Time to Value (TTV) measures the duration between a customer's initial purchase or sign-up and the moment they first realize meaningful value from the product. TTV is typically measured in days and tracked against defined value milestones specific to each product.”

Why It Matters
Shorter TTV correlates directly with higher retention and lower churn. Every additional day a customer spends before experiencing value increases the likelihood they will disengage. In competitive markets, a fast TTV can be a decisive differentiator — customers who see results quickly become advocates, while those who struggle become churn risks.
