KPIs are measurements that define and track specific business goals and objectives that often roll up into larger organizational strategies that require monitoring, improvement, and evaluation. KPIs have measurable values that usually vary with time and also targets to determine a score and performance status. Moreover, they include dimensions to allow for more specific analysis, and can be compared over time for trending purposes and to identify performance patterns.
