IT KPI Dashboard Template Features:

In the Dashboard you can use the navigation buttons to switch between other sections. So here, the first section that you are going to input your own values is Current Year Actual, Current Year Target and Past Year Actual.

You will find a sample data we used but you can also put your own data or add new rows with a new IT KPI code.

Warning!: Please note that when you add/remove a KPI code, you should change it in other sections as well. For example, if you add a new KPI to CY Actual section, don’t forget to change it in CY Target, PY Actual and Cumulatives.

Detailed Description of IT KPI Metrics:

– Open vs. Total Tickets (Total dept.): How many of total tickets are resolved over time. A low ratio of resolved to open tickets might indicate a systematic problem such as wrong deadlines, workload of the staff, resource allocation, and so on.

– Open vs. Total Tickets (per employee): This KPI metric will give an opinion about each of your employee’s performance. You may look into if there is a specific issue for the employee who has dropped behind others.

– Average Task Completion Time: This KPI metric will help you to keep your issue handling time under control for every employee.

– Support Employee per End User: An increasing ratio of support employees to end users show that you need to hire more support people in order to maintain your high quality work without being so much under pressure

Process Management
