Ways to measure: e.g., time, cost, customer satisfaction, quality.
Means of measuring traffic to and within a Web site, for instance, so advertisers can determine the effectiveness of their on-line ad spending.
Quantitative measures of performance or production
Means by which software engineers measure and predict aspects of processes, resources, and products that are relevant to the software engineering activity.
See Performance Measures.
An alternative term for performance measure.
A set of traditional and non-traditional business measurements such as rating customer satisfaction and order throughput time. A critical aspect of a CRM strategy and solution is the definition, tracking and reporting of a company's metrics.
Numbers used as a measurement for standard of quality for comparing different items or time periods. Visits, Unique Hosts, Goals, and Value are all fields that might be used as a metric.
Any type of measurement. Metrics could include business results, quantification of system usage, average response time, benefits achieved, etc. The measures that an organization believes is vital for its success.
pre-defined measures of performance calculable by comparison of system output with human-generated answer keys
Metrics are a set of measurements that quantify results. Performance metrics quantify the units performance. Project metrics tell you whether the project is meeting its goals. Business metrics define the business' progress in measurable terms.
A quantitative measurement.
Measurement tools for determining progress in achieving objectives in the strategic plan.
Measures of water efficiency. By creating a set of metrics to gauge improvements and identify inefficiencies, water efficiency management teams will be better able to prioritize opportunities and assess their progress.
Specific indicators that are measured in order to assess a company's impact on the physical or social environment.
A framework to establish and collect measurements of success/failure on a regulated, timed basis that can be audited and verified.
This is another name for measures. These are the specific pieces of data that management will attempt to change, as an indicator of the health of the organization.
Measurements that provide a basis for comparison. Strategic human capital management requires a reliable and valid set of metrics that provides an accurate baseline against which individual agency progress can be assessed. Required outcome metrics are provided for the three systems that implement strategic human capital plans and programs: Leadership and Knowledge Management, Results-Oriented Performance Culture, and Talent Management. Additional suggested metrics are also included.
A quantitative measure of the degree to which a system, component, or process possesses a given attribute.
A standard of measurement. Software metrics are the statistics describing the structure or content of a program. A metric should be a real objective measurement of something such as number of bugs per lines of code.
Measures or categories of information that define the overall performance of an organization, i.e., productivity, satisfaction, etc.
Metrics are measurements of software attributes. For example, Total Lines of Code is a measurement of the number of lines of code (executable statements, comments and blank lines) for a given module.
Measurements – facts gathered from objective measurement, usually numerical, to improve the management and quality of a process
Often used interchangeably with measurements. However, it may be helpful to separate these definitions. Metrics are the various parameters or ways of looking at a process that is to be measured. Metrics define what is to be measured. Some metrics are specialized, so they can't be directly benchmarked or interpreted outside a mission-specific business unit. Other measures will be generic, and they can be aggregated across business units, e.g. cycle time, customer satisfaction, and financial results.
Indices or parameters used in the IBI that measure an aspect of the structure, function, or other characteristic of the biological community that changes in some predictable way with changes in human influence. Since the metrics are differentially sensitive to various perturbations (e.g. siltation or toxic chemicals), as well as various degrees or levels of change within the range of integrity, conditions at a site can be determined with considerable accuracy. Some examples of fish community metrics used in the IBI are species richness and composition, trophic and reproductive constituents, and fish abundance and condition.
Measurements that are tracked to maintain strategic items. Strategic items are those things that must be maintained while working on strategic objectives and focal point items.
Syn: performance measurement system.
A prescribed set of measurements to track product development and allow a firm to measure the impact of process improvements over time. These measures generally vary by firm, but may include measures characterizing both aspects of the process, such as time to market, and duration of particular process stages, as well as outcomes from product development such as the number of products commercialized per year and percentage of sales due to new products.
Measurements that are used to assess service quality. They may be direct (such as latency) or calculated (transactions / second).
