Using Metrics to Increase ROI
At their core, metrics are a measure for quantitatively assessing and controlling a particular process, work force, and activities which can be used to compare other data in order to make better business decisions. Once a company starts to work with metrics, a lot of integrated processes are involved.
Metrics are only efficient if an organization has the appropriate processes and dedicated team in place, to watch the process. The drawback to this is that dealing with metrics the traditional way often requires a lot of work and a dedicated team which can get quite expensive. This is the reason most companies are so aggressive about keeping metrics at first but eventually fall short due to the cost and amount of work that is needed to make their metrics work.
