These steps in developing quality performance measures can be used for big and small organisations alike. The process can be summarised in the following way:

Establish appropriate project missions and goals
Select initial performance measures
Select the key performance measures
Define performance measures
Determine data requirements
Determine baseline performance
Use benchmarking to establish performance targets
Measure actual performance and report results
Review and update performance measures
The process is dynamic and requires staff to be ever vigilant in developing, updating, and reporting performance measures. Don't forget to keep the viewpoint of the customers and stakeholders in mind at every step of the process. Accept that the process is evolutionary, and that measures will likely improve with experience.
