Definition
KPI is The core metric used to judge whether a target is being met. Teams usually run into it when operators need a quick way to see what just happened and where attention should go first.
What makes it useful is that reporting views save time only when they surface the right numbers at the right level of detail. Good reporting turns scattered data into a shared starting point for action.
Use cases
Use KPI to surface the numbers the team needs to see first.
Review KPI when the team needs to decide whether a quick snapshot or a trend view fits the question better.
Track KPI so operations can turn scattered data into a common starting point for action.
