The Metrics Library

The Metrics Library stores items that are measured for a Metrics Review. Metrics can be:

• Number

  The library stores:

  • The minimum and maximum values permitted for the number.
  • A required value.
  • Any margin between the required value and the rating needed to earn an Achieved rating.

  When conducting a Metrics Review, a manager must enter a value for the metric between the minimum and maximum values. Entered values are also assessed against the required value and the optional margin, and can be marked:

  • Achieved - above required + margin.
  • Partially Achieved - within the margin above the required value.
  • Not Achieved - below the required value.

• Scale

  The library stores:

  • The options available on the scale.
  • A required level.
  • Any margin between the required level and the rating needed to earn an Achieved rating.

  When conducting a Metrics Review, a manager must select one of the available options. Selected options are assessed against the required level and the optional margin, and can be marked:

  • Achieved - above required + margin
  • Partially Achieved - within the margin above the required level.
  • Not Achieved - below the required level.
• Text

  Text metrics require a text comment from the manager at review time.
