Establishing baselines

In Unit 1, you described the goals for the organization and in Unit 2 you described how the process you selected supports the company strategies. In Unit 4, you talked about some specific goals for your project. In Unit 5, you selected metrics that would be used in establishing a baseline. In this unit, revisit the metrics that you selected for your baseline. For each metric, clearly discuss all of the following:

1. Metric 1:

a) Describe what the metric is. How is it calculated and used currently?

b) What kind of a change in this metric would constitute success for your project?

c) How did you arrive at this figure?

Repeat for all metrics
