This is not the first question, just ensuring definitions are clear:
“ IT Performance Management is the effective combination of methods, KPIs and tools that enables organizations to define KPIs that are relevant to them, understand their current performance against predetermined goals, and enables organizations to build on this information, initiate improvement activities and achieve optimal IT performance in line with business requirements”
IT Performance management is about measuring, improving and demonstrating the value of IT
1) I can understand every performance report that I receive from my IT team within 5 seconds
2) Every KPI that we report on is useful and adds value to my decision making process
3) I know exactly how much value my ITIL implementation has brought me, and I know even better how much costs we are saving with it Source: Reuters
4) My IT department knows the difference between providing information that is relevant to me, and providing data that is available to them

7) I feel a little guilty for having my IT department produce so much paper every month without me actually looking at it.. (it’s just too much, and too unstructured…)
8) We asked consultants to come in and help us define KPIs 8 months ago. They are still working on it, and we yet have to find out how our IT processes are performing
