Using metrics

Metrics is one of the Evaluation tools in eKaizen that helps you track the performance and impact of your project over time. It complements tools like Scoring and Financial Evaluation by showing the actual measurable results achieved throughout the project’s life cycle. You can access it in Project detail → Evaluation → Metrics.

It is designed to continuously record and monitor metrics / KPIs that are influenced by the specific project.

Tracking project performance

When you open the Metrics tab:

• You’ll see a set of predefined KPIs and the milestones at which they should be measured and recorded.
• Both the KPIs and milestones are predefined by the eKaizen Administrator.
• This structure ensures consistency in how project results are tracked and compared across different teams or locations.

Adding your own KPI

If you want to track an additional KPI that isn’t included in the predefined set:

1. Click the [+] button to create a new KPI.
2. For each KPI, specify:
   • Name – the full name of the KPI.
   • Shortcut – a short identifier used in reports or tables.
   • Units – the measurement units (e.g. %, hours, pieces).

This allows you to capture project-specific data alongside standardized KPIs.
