**How you're measuring the health or success of a thing.** Metrics are how you measure the health or success of a thing. You can have metrics for enduring [[Defining Area|area]]s, or time-bound [[Defining Project|project]]s. Standard Project metrics include: - Schedule - [[Budget]] - [[OKRs]] Area metrics depend on the particulars of the area. Metrics for areas are typically called [[KPIs]]. Some lend themselves better to metrics than others. Some examples might be: - Easy to Measure Area: _Health_. Metrics: Sick days taken. For-purpose doctor's visits. Self-reported health scores. Quantity/frequency of painkillers or similar medications. - Difficult to Measure Area: _Relationship_. Metrics: frequency/intensity of disagreements, frequency of proper dates **** # More ## Source ## Related - [[Proxy Measures]] - [[Projects and Areas are Different]] - [[Gaming KPIs]] - [[KPIs]] - [[Leading Measures]] - [[Lagging Measures]] - [[OKRs]]
