The ongoing monitoring and reporting of program accomplishments, particularly progress toward pre-established goals. It is typically conducted by program or agency management. Performance measures may address the type or level of program activities conducted (process), the direct products and services delivered by a program (outputs), or the results of those products and services (outcomes).
Collection of statistical and other data describing the performance of the library, and the analysis of these data in order to evaluate the performance. Or, in other words: Comparing what a library is doing (performance) with what it is meant to do (mission) and wants to achieve (goals). (Poll, p.16)
In PeopleSoft Enterprise Incentive Management, a variable used to store data (similar to an aggregator, but without a predefined formula) within the scope of an incentive plan. Performance measures are associated with a plan calendar, territory, and participant. Performance measurements are used for quota calculation and reporting.
The process of developing measurable indicators that can be systematically tracked to assess progress made in achieving predetermined goals and using such indicators to assess progress in achieving these goals [GAO]. A performance gap is the gap between what customers and stakeholders expect and what each process and related subprocesses produces in terms of quality, quantity, time, and cost of services and products [GAO].
Measurement of data that show the progress toward specific results that are the intended outcome of specific actions, thus providing a way to evaluate the actions.
The collection, interpretation of, and reporting on data for performance indicators which measure how well programmes or projects deliver outputs and contribute to achievement of higher level aims (purposes and goals). Performance measures are most useful when used for comparisons over time or among units performing similar work. A system for assessing performance of development initiatives against stated goals. Also described as the process of objectively measuring how well an agency is meeting its stated goals or objectives.
A tool used to objectively assess how a program is accomplishing its mission through the delivery of products, services and activities.
The evaluation of portfolio manager's performance relative to a previously established benchmark.
Performance measurement is concerned with collecting information to determine whether a program achieved its goals and objectives. Information from performance measurement is used to improve the operation of the program. Outcome measures, inputs, and outputs are collected and reported.
Consists of tracking program performance against goals over time to provide an assessment of a program's performance, including measures of productivity, effectiveness, quality, and timeliness. Performance Measurement can help provide objective perspectives for defending or expanding a program, rather than allowing it to suffer from relatively arbitrary or habitual decisions. Ongoing monitoring systems, which emphasize indicators and analysis linked to improvement, can help track and improve results over time and can also prove to be a valuable source of information in the formal evaluation process.
The process that supports the decision making process by generating indicators of how well the transportation system is achieving the desired or expected outcomes.
Measuring performance is a key element of all work undertaken by public sector agencies, and each agency should determine how best to measure and demonstrate its performance/ achievements, and how these compare with industry standards, benchmarks or best practice.
a process of assessing the achievement of pre-determined goals and objectives through the measurement of the following types of indicators: inputs, processes of delivery of activities and services outputs, and outcomes.
The use of qualitative tools (e.g., rates, ratios, indices, percentages) to provide an indication of an organizationâ€(tm)s performance in relation to a specified process or outcome.
Ongoing monitoring of the results of a programme, policy, or initiative and, in particular, progress towards established goals.- What is the measuring regime
See also Earned Value Analysis. [D03883] PNG method used to relate physical progress achieved to cost status. The method identifies whether cost variance s are due to differences in the value of the work being performed, i.e. too expensive or under budget. From this, it is possible to assess whether a project is ahead, on or behind budget and whether the trend is likely to continue. [D03884] PNG
A system for assessing performance of development interventions against stated goals (DAC).
This involves deciding what you want to measure and why; setting up the individual performance measures with definitions and relating them to individuals or teams; collecting the relevant data, including past current performance, forecasts and targets. It helps you to monitor your services and products and allows organisations to identify good performance, learn from others, and focus on their priorities and any areas of poor performance. Performance measurement is, however, only part of a bigger performance management framework and is an ongoing improvement process which involves not just systems but people and whole organisations.
The use of objective, quantifiable indicators of program effectiveness and efficiency to assess progress against stated goals and objectives. A balance of financial and nonfinancial indicators should be used to measure performance such as cost per output, cost per outcome, customer-oriented indicators of quality timeliness and customer satisfaction. Program accomplishments in terms of outputs and outcomes are integral elements of performance measurement.
The process of regularly measuring the outputs and outcomes produced by your program. Performance measurement allows you to track both the amount of work done by your program and the impact of this work on your program beneficiaries.
an approach to planning and managing projects that requires clear objectives, activities, expected results (outputs and outcomes) and measurement of results.
The systematic application of methods to monitor performance against plan and to control cost and schedule as well as changes to scope, configuration, and functional/operational requirements. It also aims to measure and determine causes of variance from established baselines so that effective and timely action may be taken (AACE International, 1995). The ability to track and calculate cost performance and schedule performance. The former is based upon a comparison of earned value and actual costs and the latter on a comparison of earned value and budgeted costs (Welcome Software Technology, 1993).
The process of measuring an investor's real estate performance in terms of individual assets, advisers/managers and portfolios. The scope of performance measurement reports varies among managers, consultants and plan sponsors.
