Description

This week’s “Process Indicators Definition” could be a controversial one.
By definition, a performance indicator or key performance indicator (KPI) is a type of performance measurement. KPIs evaluate the success of an organization or of a particular activity (such as projects, programs, products, and other initiatives) in which it engages.
