KPI – Key Performance Indicator
“(KPIs) are simply a tool for assessing the impact
of a particular project or activity.
While these are often numeric in nature („improve
sales by 20%‟) they can also be qualitative
(„improve staff satisfaction levels‟).
In either case, metrics provide clear and tangible
goals for a project, and criteria for project
success.”
-- James Robertson “Metrics for knowledge
management and content management”

instead of raw numbers
Leverage tachometers and thermometers and
stoplights instead of pie charts and graphs
Provide temporal context and highlight change
instead of presenting tables of data
Drive business-critical action”

Performance Indicators”
