Mediocre metrics tell you
what's going on.
Better metrics tell you what's going on an why.
Best metrics tell you what's going on and why, and help you

Metrics vs. KPIs
Metrics are the units of measurement used in
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The
biggest difference between metrics and KPIs lies in context:
Business metrics track performance across a
wide spectrum of business activities;
KPIs track the progress towards a specific goal. |
