management, and customers are all asking for data-based decisions. As a
result, many managers, professionals, and change agents are asked to
develop metrics, but have no clear idea of how to produce meaningful
ones. Wouldn’t it be great to have a simple explanation of how to
collect, analyze, report, and use measurements to improve your
organization?
