Understanding Programme Performance: Setting and Measuring KPIs and OKRs

Understanding Programme Performance: Setting and Measuring KPIs and OKRs

Measuring how well a project or programme is doing can be challenging, especially when it mainly generates non-financial benefits such as improved engagement, building community, and improving morale. Without having a clear understanding of the benefits expected of an initiative, how does one know how well it is doing or if it is succeeding at all?

In this one-day course, learn how to define appropriate metrics aligned with the project or programme business case objectives that can be used to clearly measure results attainment and ways to incorporate these metrics into meaningful status reports.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Describe the challenges of measuring programme financial and non-financial results
  • Describe the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Objectives and Key Results (OKRs)
  • Explain how KPIs and OKRs can be used to track programme performance
  • Define appropriate KPIs or OKRs for a programme
  • Measure, track, and report on programme performance
