Performance Indicators

Measure what matters

Three types of indicators for complete tracking

Every strategic plan and every action plan in Planivore can be enriched with indicators suited to your reality. Basic indicators are built into every level, custom indicators measure what matters to you, and global indicators offer a cross-cutting view.

Indicators update in real time and automatically feed your dashboards and reports. No re-entry, no parallel spreadsheet.

Basic indicators built into every level

Every item of your strategic plan automatically has three basic indicators: progress (percentage complete), progress rating (a qualitative assessment of progress) and priority. These indicators are available at every level, from orientation down to action, with no setup.

Progress

Not started
In progress (started)
Halfway
Very advanced
Completed

Progress places each plan item on a simple scale, from "Not started" to "Completed". It is updated as you track your plan and rolls up automatically to dashboards and reports.

Priority

Priority
Important
Normal
Low
None

The priority level shows what comes first, from "Priority" to "Low". Your teams know where to focus their efforts, and managers spot critical items right away.

Progress rating

Very problematic
Problematic
To be monitored
Satisfying
In advance
Not specified

The progress rating adds a qualitative judgment to the percentage: very problematic, to be monitored, satisfying or in advance. An item at 40% can still be ahead of schedule; the rating makes that clear.

Custom indicators to measure what matters

Add your own indicators at any level of your strategic plan or action plans. Choose a display type (gauge, choice, traffic light, number or pictogram), a starting value, a target and an update frequency. Each custom indicator is linked directly to the plan item it measures.

Gauges See how close you are to a target

A gauge shows at a glance where a result stands against its target. Display it as a percentage, an interval or the result alone, depending on what you measure.

Choices A scale that fits you

Define your own values and colours: a rating scale, a completion status, themes, emojis or simple dots. Ideal for tracking what cannot be measured in numbers.

Traffic lights Status at a glance

Green, yellow or red: the traffic light instantly shows whether an indicator is on track. Display all three lights side by side, or only the one that is lit.

Numbers Track a value and its target

Track a numeric result, with or without a target and label: participants, amounts, units produced. Five layouts show the value on its own or compared with the target.

Pictograms Progress that speaks for itself

The pictogram fills up as the result gets closer to the target. Star, heart or rectangle: a simple visual that speaks to every audience, in your dashboards and your reports alike.

Global indicators for a cross-cutting view

Global indicators are not tied to a specific plan item. They track cross-cutting metrics that span several plans or departments. They appear in the cockpit for a condensed view of organizational performance.

A direct link between your plans and your indicators

Custom indicators attached to your strategic plan automatically appear in the dashboards. Indicators from linked action plans are also visible in the global view. This link ensures that operational performance rolls up to the strategic vision.

Questions?

Can a single plan item have several indicators?

Yes. Every plan item automatically has three basic indicators: progress, assessment and priority. You can then add your own custom indicators at any level of the strategic plan or your action plans, to measure everything that matters to you.

What types of indicators does Planivore offer?

Planivore offers three types of indicators. Basic indicators are built into every level of the plan, with no setup. Custom indicators measure what matters to your organization and are linked to the plan item they measure. Global indicators provide a cross-cutting view of performance.

What is the difference between progress and assessment?

Progress places the item on a completion scale, from “Not started” to “Completed”. Assessment adds a qualitative judgment: very problematic, to be monitored, satisfying or ahead. An item at 40% can therefore still be ahead of schedule, and the assessment makes that clear.

How do you set up a custom indicator?

You choose a display type (gauge, choice, traffic light, number or pictogram), a starting value, a target and an update frequency. The indicator is then linked directly to the plan item it measures and automatically appears in your dashboards and reports.

Can we track an indicator that isn’t measured in numbers?

Yes. The choice indicator lets you define your own values and colours: a rating scale, a completion status, themes, emojis or simple dots. It is ideal for tracking what cannot be measured in numbers.

What are global indicators used for?

Global indicators are not tied to a specific plan item. They track cross-cutting metrics that span several plans or departments, and they appear in the cockpit to provide a condensed view of organizational performance.

Do indicators need to be re-entered in reports?

No. Indicators update in real time and automatically feed dashboards and reports. Indicators from linked action plans also roll up to the global view: operational performance connects to the strategic vision, with no re-entry and no parallel spreadsheet.
