How to track KPIs

First, you need to identify the KPIs you want to use to track the progress/success of your business or specific project. Here you need to be sure that your KPIs line up with your goals and are measurable.

• Targets

Next, you need to figure out the specific targets or goals that you want to reach with each KPI. This is a necessary step as it will help you track, monitor, and document progress and then determine any areas where improvements can be made.

• Gather data

Collecting data is a crucial step in creating KPIs and then being able to use the information to improve your business or project. Depending on each specific KPI, you might collect data from a variety of sources, such as customer surveys, sales reports, or web analytics.

• Analyze the data you have collected

When you analyze the data you have obtained through KPIs you gain insights into trends, patterns, and overall performance. Use this information to make data-informed decisions on how best to adjust your business or project, and improve overall performance.

• Visualize your data

Visualizing the data you get from KPIs is another important step in this process. To do this you can use dashboards, charts, graphs, tables, or other visual tools that help you lay out your data in a way that is easier to understand, and also so it can be communicated with the right people in your organization.

• Review and make adjustments

Once you have your KPI process running, you can then review your findings on a fairly regular basis to see if you need to make any adjustments. You may want to adjust your targets or specific strategies to ensure you stay on track and make improvements on a continuing basis.
