Managing metrics for service businesses is a widely-discussed subject. It can be challenging to agree on which metrics to measure and how to measure them, even within a single team, let alone at a departmental or organizational level.

Metrics offer a particular viewpoint on your business, and each one serves a different purpose. Some metrics can indicate current issues, while others can predict future ones.
