Understanding Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are critical indicators that give quantitative standards for measuring a project's performance and success trajectory. KPIs are essentially numerical or qualitative indicators that enable tracking of a project's efficiency and effectiveness in meeting its stated objectives. They serve as navigational aids, directing the project towards its strategic objectives by giving real proof of its progress.

For your application to the D.A.O. program:

• Specify Your KPIs: Clearly outline the quantifiable metrics that will indicate your project’s performance and success in achieving its goals, being a protocol, an event for community, a virtual gathering for gamers or a tool for developers.
• Relevance: Ensure that the KPIs are closely aligned with your project's objectives and the D.A.O.’s mission.
• Measurable Outcomes: Define how each KPI will be measured and evaluated, specifying the tools or methods of measurement.
• Time-Bound: Indicate the timeframe within which the KPIs will be assessed, ensuring they are realistic and achievable within the project’s duration.
