Track Performance:

Select key metrics. Collect the data needed to track performance on these metrics. Plot and report data graphically using a run chart. Write an aim statement that will clearly identify what it is that your team has targeted to improve. Consider tracking balancing measures, so that improvement in one area is not accompanied by a decrease in performance in another area.
