KPI’S
The topic of my current post would be key performance indicators (KPI). KPI’s would be defined as quantifiable metrics a company could use to evaluate business objectives. KPI’s are benchmarks for entrepreneurial managers to determine success of business goals. Entrepreneurial managers could determine if the company’s strategic position would be a successful one with effective evaluation of KPI’s. A start-up team should track key performance indicators through a web-based dashboard with visuals of performance metrics with tables and graphs. Metrics of sales and product performance. Sales growth as well. Through each project sprint, a customer development team should track completion of every business task pertaining to business goals. The start-up team should also track customer feedback communication utilizing a web-based dashboard.
KPI Scorecard
Within the dashboard a customer development team should maintain a metric-based scorecard of every component of a business unit involving sales and marketing relevant to performance indicators. Product based performance relevant to product features. Scorecards are business tools used by entrepreneurial managers for business planning purposes. An example of a KPI based metric would be a landing test page of an addition of a product feature. Would the addition scale. The customer development team has to have a realistic objective that can scale. A metric based on constraints and the successful outcome. It would be recommended to maintain a numeric rating system within the scorecard. For every outcome, what would be the rate of change that the customer development team evaluated. KPI’s would be business tools for entrepreneurial managers to make effective decisions. The performance metric would be based on each business unit’s performance indicators that would also be based on any constraints within the user centered design process. There are the performance indicators and the constraints with each goal or outcome for every metric the customer development team would measure or track. For every performance metric relevant to performance indicators there should be a positive outcome. The customer development team would be driving business. Another important metric to track would be the customer acquisition cost (CAC). CAC would be a simple business tool formula to account for acquisition costs for a start-up. For every customer acquisition, what would be the dollar spent for every customer. At what rate of acquisition cost did the customer development team account for. There would be a budget and a customer reach pool. What rate of change can your customer development team account for to maximize customer reach. Minimize cost and evaluate effective customer engagement.
I have posted a couple of useful links. The links provide information on the creators of the lean start-up methodology.
