Key performance indicators (KPIs) are high-level snapshots of an organization or a business process using specific predefined performance measures.

If a Key Performance Indicator is going to be of value, there must be a way to accurately define and measure it. For example, “Generate More Repeat Customers” is useless as a KPI without some way to distinguish between new and repeat customers. “Provide excellent project management and business analysis ” won’t work as a KPI because there is no way to measure this.

Defining KPIs is a standardized skill for business improvement (BI) analysts. However, if you try to find KPIs to measure business analysis and project managers, you will find little written on the subject.

In this webinar, John Parker will present ideas of how business analysts and project managers can best define KPIs to improve business analysis and project management results and deliver more value to the business. The focus will be on defining KPIs for an agile enterprise.
