  IT Balanced Score Card

Progressive IT organizations increasingly are implementing organizational performance monitoring capabilities to assess traditional supply-side operational metrics with demand-side measures.  The baseline set of focus include:

  Financial Performance - A suite of metrics allowing CIOs and IT Management teams to understand IT spending in relation to strategy implementation, project progress, and service levels (external and internal).
  Project Execution - Track project progress and status with specific focus on large-scale initiatives that tend to possess the most risk.
  Operational Performance - Provide an overall customer focused view of IT operations.
  Human Capital - Measure IT staff satisfaction and retention as well as assess the the IT organization in relation to the external IT skills market.
  Customer Satisfaction - These metrics help IT management identify trends in service delivery and more effectively communicate trade-offs in service quality against cost.

Combined with effective IT Governance and IT portfolio management (PPM & APM), IT executives will ensure strategic and business alignment occures through tangibly measurable organizational performance.
