Metrics

Industry trends are driving test labs to use metrics to measure their performance and justify resources. Using metrics that matter, lab managers are moving toward a process of measure, analyze then adjust. It is more efficient and accurate to capture metrics in a systematic process rather than produce ad hoc metrics at management's request.

The use of metrics in test lab management is important to many of your colleagues as evidenced in last years test lab metrics survey. Once again, the Survey Results will be available online, highlighting a broad use of metrics. However, while a broad range of metrics are used, the responses suggest that your colleagues struggle with determining what metrics are appropriate. Join your colleagues in an effort to define metrics that matter!
