Educause Midwest Conference
Do-It-Yourself Metrics!
My two co-workers, Don Padgett and Mike Langthorne, and I presented a 45 minute session at the March 2006, EDUCAUSE Midwest Regional Conference. We presented a down and dirty explanation of how to implement a metrics program. We reviewed the implementation guide we use at work to build a metric:
Metric Name
Purpose (a go/no go proposition)
Metric Area/Category
Customer
Graphical Representation
Explanation
Metrics Analysis
Measures used to develop metric
Collection Schema
Schedule
Assumptions and Constraints
Related Metrics and Data Dependencies
Lessons Learned
The presentation went over quite well. You can find the slides at: http://www.educause.edu/LibraryDetailPage/666?ID=MWR0651
