Operations Metrics Scoreboard.

Select the few operational metrics that reveal how your work performs, set targets, and build the recurring at-a-glance view that makes performance continuously visible.

Section A: Select the metrics

Choose a focused set that genuinely reveals operational health, and set a target for each. Tie them to the cost baselines you captured when you mapped the work. A few metrics you actually watch beat a dashboard nobody reads.

MetricWhat it revealsTargetBaseline (from your costing)
Cycle timeHow fast work flows
Error or rework rateHow reliably work is done right
Throughput or volumeHow much gets done
Bottleneck or queue measureWhere work waits
(your own)

Section B: Build the recurring view

Populate the scoreboard on a regular rhythm and keep it simple enough to maintain. The trended view makes drift show up as a trend turning the wrong way rather than as a surprise failure.
