Planning and Designing Effective Metrics
For me, metrics are a means of telling a complete story for the purpose of improving something. Usually, the idea is to improve an organization. Sometimes, though, you will want to focus on improving a process. In the end, anything you improve should align back to improvements that help the organization.
Metrics are a tool for improvement. By their nature, metrics use different levels of information to tell a story. Although I always strive to make this story comprehensive, it’s nearly impossible to capture everything. In most cases, I try to capture enough of what’s important to help with the improvement.
