3. 3 15 July 2010 What is a Scorecard? A scorecard is a collection of performance metrics and projects designed to reflect the strategic goals of a unit in an organization. The information on a scorecard tells you how well objectives are being met by comparing planned to actual results. By using status indicators such as traffic lights, scorecard users can quickly evaluate performance.
4. 4 15 July 2010 Scorecards in Metric Studio Scorecards can contain other scorecards to show the organizations in the business. To best manage your metrics application, create separate scorecards for each unit in your organization. You can then apply security to each scorecard so that metrics are accessible only to specific users, groups, or roles.
