Metrics are about more
than just compliance. They ground you in fact, enable informed decision making,
and help your team understand performance while providing insight into program
health. By understanding the why, what, and how behind metrics, your team can
move from “just collecting data” to using metrics that enable better decision
making, improve program outcomes, and deliver mission value. Get ready to hear
all about our new Tactical Guide called <a href="https://www.sei.cmu.edu/library/cracking-the-cns-code/">Pack</a> Light, Measure Right and Supplement called Decoding SWP Metrics.
