Project driven organisations as well as companies where project management is crucial for sustainability, are careful about project performance. The best way to evaluate project performance, performance of project manager, performance of department, performance of a team, performance of an individual team member is to define KPIs.

What is KPI?

Key performance indicator (KPI) is a measurable value that indicate how well an individual, department or organization or an entity is achieving its important business objectives or goals.

Why KPIs Are Important?

As mentioned above, tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) is very important for a defined period of a project for a project as well as for an employee, departmental group or company as a whole. Tracking KPI numbers tells is your employee, departmental group or company is making progress and by how much. Without using KPI you wouldn’t know whether you are progressing towards your goals or not. Once a decision maker or stakeholders see KPIs numbers, s/he can correct the course and align team/company efforts to meet the goal. KPIs also help you manage projects more effectively.
