What is KPI

Key Performance Indicator, or KPI for short, is a quantifiable measure used by businesses to evaluate their performance over time and progress towards achieving their goals. 

 

Every company will use a different set of KPIs, depending on its long-term objectives, business area, type of management, and numerous other factors. Whatever type of KPI your company sets, if they show positive results, your strategy is successful and you should focus on maintaining it. If the KPIs are not so great, it is a warning of some issues that you should identify and improve.

Why KPIs are Important

Track and monitor progress

Key Performance Indicators give you measurable and actionable data about the results of your business efforts. Properly set KPIs will track the most vital signs of your company, allowing you to keep a finger on the pulse of its health.

Spot problems and opportunities

KPIs allow businesses to have the most relevant data at their fingertips. This will help you identify signs of issues before they have a chance to manifest at full force or detect arising opportunities before anyone else could capitalize on them.

Stay on track and make adjustments

With those issues and opportunities in mind, proper KPIs will show you how to course-correct. You will see which efforts are working best and are worth focusing on, how to avoid pitfalls while staying on your business target, and how to shift your initiatives to reach max efficiency.

Analyze patterns over time

Measuring Key Performance Indicators Q/Q is a great way to detect long-term patterns. This can provide lots of vital information - you may unravel seasonality in your business performance, identify slower periods where you could insert training initiatives or system updates, or find habitual underperformers.

Main benefits of KPI

Measure your key results

Usually, key results have a finish date and responsible team members. KPI isn’t related to key result implementation. It aims to measure how well a particular key result was achieved.

Track project performance

Before completing the key result, you should check if its KPI is achieved. If yes, you do a great job. If not, analyze what factors have affected this and try to prevent them in the future.

What is SMART KPI

KPI is a unit of measurement that evaluates the success of a particular key result.

 

SMART is a model of setting key results. SMART stands for:

  • Specific (simple, sensible)
  • Measurable (meaningful, motivating)
  • Achievable (attainable)
  • Relevant (reasonable, realistic)
  • Time-bound (time-limited, time/cost limited, time-sensitive)

 

Combining KPIs and a SMART framework improves your business performance and brings your team to success.

How to Set Up and Measure KPIs

Many businesses, many KPIs. To define Key Performance Indicators that will work for your company, answer the following questions:

  • What is your overarching business objective?
  • Why does this objective matter?
  • How will you know if you’re making progress towards the objective?
  • How can you influence your progress?
  • Who is responsible for reaching the objective?
  • How often will you review your progress?

Once you know the answers, it will be easy to figure out which KPIs suit your business best.
