KPIs & Metrics to Measure and Manage IT Department Performance

What are IT Key Performance Indicators?

IT Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and metrics focus on measuring the overall performance of an organization’s IT Department. Examples of operational metrics for IT departments include, help desk service level, system installation productivity, first call resolution quality, and the cost per help desk request of servicing the internal customer. IT system metrics measure server speed and other hardware related performance.

Using KPIs to Manage Your IT Department’s Performance

For KPIs to succeed in IT departments, long lists of metrics must be narrowed to focus on the objectives that matter most. Without clear oversight and insight into a manageable set of KPIs, IT implementation projects fall behind schedule, work orders can fall behind schedule, and IT related down time of end user devices or computer users can slow businesses to a crawl.
