Key Performance Indicators

What is a KPI?

Key performance indicators (KPIs) are quantitative parameters, i.e., numbers filtering out the key information from a flood of data. For example, you can use KPIs to assess and evaluate the current status and development of a project or an entire company.

As the name implies, these indicators are the critical (key) indicators of progress toward a specific objective. Key performance indicators are used as an analytical basis for decision-making.

Types of KPIs

A distinction is made between absolute and relative key performance indicators. KPIs can be quantitative or qualitative. Qualitative KPIs (e.g., customer satisfaction) do not use numbers.

KPI Examples

KPIs used in project and portfolio management are, for example:

  • CPI (Cost Efficiency)
  • Total Costs
  • SPI (Time Efficiency)
  • Average Duration
  • Average Time Variance

Learn how to calculate the CPI and SPI in our article: Earned Value Explained.
