How you’re measuring the health or success of a thing.
Metrics are how you measure the health or success of a thing. You can have metrics for enduring areas, or time-bound projects.
Standard Project metrics include:
- Schedule
- Budget
- OKRs
Area metrics depend on the particulars of the area. Metrics for areas are typically called KPIs. Some lend themselves better to metrics than others. Some examples might be:
- Easy to Measure Area: Health. Metrics: Sick days taken. For-purpose doctor’s visits. Self-reported health scores. Quantity/frequency of painkillers or similar medications.
- Difficult to Measure Area: Relationship. Metrics: frequency/intensity of disagreements, frequency of proper dates
