In education, there is a practice known as "backwards design" described in the book "understanding by design". Here, goals are set, behaviours that are evidence of achieving the goal are set (these are assessments), and then instructional activities are designed that "move the needle" on the assessments. But the critical 4th step in this iterative process is continuous alignment between the goals, assessments and instructional activities. This alignment process is intended to prevent the negative outcomes of teaching to the test.

From that perspective, any metric oriented organisation might want to have an explicit alignment process that ensures that the metrics continue to capture the desired outcome.
