Metrics should be S.M.A.R.T.:
- Specific — clear and focused to avoid misinterpretation. Should include metric assumptions and definitions and be easily interpreted.
- Measurable — can be quantified and compared with other data. It should allow for meaningful statistical analysis. Avoid “yes/no” measures except in limited cases, such as start-up or systems-in-place situations.
- Attainable — achievable, reasonable, and credible under conditions expected.
- Realistic — fits into the organization’s constraints and is cost-effective.
- Time Bound — states the time period in which each metric will be accomplished.
