KPIs

The KPIs page shows every indicator of the project: its target, where it stands, and whether it is on pace.

Each card: the value so far, the target, and the dark mark where a straight-line plan expects you to be today.

Where the numbers come from

A KPI's value is the sum of its measurements. Most measurements come from the activities partners report. A manager can also add one by hand, and it is marked as such.

When you add or edit a KPI, you choose how activities count towards it:

Setting	What it does
+1 per activity	Each activity ticked on this KPI adds one. Good for "events organised" or "papers published".
Adds people reached	Adds the number of people the activity reached. Good for "participants reached".
You enter the amount	The person reporting types the amount. Good for "households engaged".
Tracked outside activities	Activities do not touch it. You add the figures yourself, for example website visitors.

On pace or behind

Numensa compares what is achieved with how much of the project has passed. On pace, Behind pace and Achieved come from that comparison. It is a straight line, so a KPI that is expected late in the project will show as behind for a while.

One KPI

A KPI's page: the curve over time, who is responsible, and every measurement with its source.

• Add measurement adds a figure by hand, with a date and a partner.
• Edit KPI changes the target, the unit, the lead partner and the contributing partners.
• By partner shows what each organisation has added.
• Export gives you the measurements as a spreadsheet.

Fix a wrong total

Use Correct the total. You say what the total should be and why. Nothing is deleted: the difference is added as one more entry, marked as a correction, with your name and the reason. Everyone in the project can read it in the KPI's history.

Verified numbers

A measurement from an activity counts as checked once the activity is verified. See Activities.
