Why KPIs Fail: Common Pitfalls & How to Fix Them | vCare Project Management

❓ What does it mean when key performance indicators (KPIs) don’t provide the expected information? Share your thoughts in the comments! πŸ‘‡
KPIs are designed to measure success – but what if they mislead rather than inform?
In Episode 5 of Managing High-Stress Projects Q&A, I had a thought-provoking discussion with Tom Witterholt on why KPIs often fail and how leaders can avoid common measurement mistakes.

πŸ’‘ Key Takeaways from Our Discussion:
βœ” KPIs are rarely perfect on the first attempt – continuous refinement is critical
βœ” Unexpected results? They might highlight real performance issues or flawed metrics
βœ” Qualitative vs. Quantitative Data – choosing the right measurement approach is key
βœ” Hidden factors matter – some root causes go beyond surface-level indicators
βœ” Bad KPIs exist – some metrics may be impractical, misleading, or unmeasurable
