Examples of Performance Assessment metrics and KPIs

Metrics for Software Engineering Research

  • 1. Defect Density

    Defect density measures the number of defects confirmed in the software during a specific period of development divided by the size of the software.

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Implement peer code reviews
    • Conduct regular testing phases
    • Adopt test-driven development
    • Use static code analysis tools
    • Enhance developer training programmes
  • 2. Code Coverage

    Code coverage is the percentage of your code which is tested by automated tests.

    • Implement a user-centric design approach
    • Enhance customer support services
    • Ensure frequent updates and improvements
    • Analyse and respond to customer complaints

Metrics for Referral Implementation in Education

  • 1. Referral Submission Rate

    Percentage of referred students for special education services compared to total student population

    What good looks like for this metric: Typically 5-10% of student population

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Educate staff on referral process
    • Streamline referral documentation
    • Enhance communication with parents
    • Regularly analyse referral data
    • Offer professional development
  • 2. Evaluation Timeliness

    Percentage of evaluations completed within the 60-day timeframe

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Ensure comprehensive evaluations
    • Provide clear eligibility criteria
    • Regular training for assessment team
    • Review non-eligible cases for gaps
    • Strengthen collaboration with parents and educators
  • 4. IEP Implementation Rate

    Percentage of IEP plans that are fully implemented as planned

    What good looks like for this metric: 95% full implementation

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Ensure clear communication among IEP team members
    • Regularly monitor IEP implementation progress
    • Provide adequate resources and training
    • Conduct frequent IEP team meetings
    • Implement a feedback system for identification of barriers
  • 5. Adequate Progress Rate

    Percentage of students demonstrating adequate progress towards IEP goals
