There are many different forms of performance metrics, including sales, profit, return on investment, customer happiness, customer reviews, personal reviews, overall quality, and reputation in a marketplace. Performance metrics can vary considerably when viewed through different industries.
These metrics—or five Work Performance Indicators (WPIs)—are mix, capacity, velocity, quality, and engagement.
Key performance indicators (KPIs) are targets that help you measure progress against your most strategic objectives. While organizations can have many types of metrics, KPIs are targets that are “key” to the success of your business.
KPIs are strategic while metrics are often operational or tactical. Metrics are lower-level indicators specific to a department while KPIs can be tracked by various departments working towards the same goal. Metrics provide context to your business activities, KPIs allow for strategic decision-making.

Key financial statement metrics include sales, earnings before interest and tax (EBIT), net income, earnings per share, margins, efficiency ratios, liquidity ratios, leverage ratios, and rates of return. Each of these metrics provides a different insight into the operational efficiency of a company.
While a measure is a simple number, such as, how many miles you have traveled, for example-a metric puts that measure into context - how many miles you have traveled per hour. This additional context makes the same measure orders of magnitude more useful, especially when looking at business KPIs.
These five elements; Create, Comprehend, Communicate, Collaborate and Confront, form the basis of an effective people management approach. Whilst each element is important in its own right they all interrelate with and support the others.
This is more often than not a 5 point rating scale (5– Outstanding, 4– Exceeds Expectations, 3- Meets Expectations, 2- Needs Improvement, 1- Unacceptable).
Graphic rating scales, management by objectives and forced ranking are three methods used to measure employee performance.
Investors should also compare these three metrics—gross profit, operating profit, and net profit—to those of a company's competitors.
All five component processes (i.e., planning, monitoring, developing, rating, rewarding) work together and support each other, resulting in natural, effective performance management.

Standard Metrics are Metrics that only store and display 1 Metric Value for each Date Range. Examples of Standard Metrics are "Sessions," "Clicks," and "Likes."
There are three categories of metrics: product metrics, process metrics, and project metrics.
A business success metric is a quantifiable measurement that business leaders track to see if their strategies are working effectively. Success metrics are also known as key performance indicators (KPIs). There is no one-size-fits-all success metric; most teams use several different metrics to determine success.
But KPIs are NOT the same as goals. The goal is the outcome you hope to achieve; the KPI is a metric to let you know how well you're doing working towards that goal.
KPIs can be financial, including net profit (or the bottom line, gross profit margin), revenues minus certain expenses, or the current ratio (liquidity and cash availability).
SMART KPI examples are KPIs such as “revenue per region per month” or “new customers per quarter”. Iterate and evolve. Over time, see how you or your audience are using the set of KPIs and if you find that certain ones aren't relevant, remove or replace them.
