Very relevant to me right now.

But doesn’t the “ What About the Details?” section acknowledge that you will many of the other metrics later anyway for different people, projects and problems? Isn’t the message then “You should know which metrics are relevant to you and only look at them?”

Yeah, it's hard to generalize these kinds of things since companies can operate so differently. I've seen very large companies where everyone can use the same 5 metrics and others where each team needs their own set of 5. I think the key thing is that no team is using anymore than absolutely necessary.
