To achieve this, all KPIs must have the following technical criteria:
-
A value that can be calculated for every date
-
A goal for comparison for every date
-
Both a value and a goal for every contributing party in the company
-
A graphical indicator of current goal achievement status
-
A trend calculation that indicates improvement or otherwise of the KPI over recent time
KPIs generally accumulate business values over a period of time relative to the current date (for example, the current month, or the past rolling 3 months, etc.), and goals must be defined for the same period as the KPI. Thus some KPIs will be based upon a new set of transactions every week or month and be compared to a new goal every week or month. The trend calculation of a KPI should also take such date periods into account by comparing to a past KPI value with a similar period.
