ITS Project Metrics
In August 2023, ITS introduced a ITS Project Metrics Dashboard featuring project metrics based on project data already collected in the ITS Active and Proposed Projects list.
The metrics created include:
- Project delay – measured by the number of times the project finish date changed
- Reason for Project delay – captured in the project challenges data
- Alignment – alignment with primary ITS principle for the project
The metrics are defined here:

Project Delay |
The project delay metric is captured based on Finish Date changes to the project |
Count of number of changes to Finish Date |
This gives a measure of our planning accuracy. |

Reason for Project Delay |
We are using Project Challenges as a proxy for the Reason for Project delays |
Cultural |
This presents us with likely root causes for delay, and can inform future project plans and potential to launch systemic improvements |

Primary ITS Principle that the aligns to |
P1– Maximize efficiencies by sustaining and evolving existing services and reducing redundant services P2- Invest wisely and appropriately in university-wide transformative technology change. P3 – Reduce risks by anticipating adverse challenges in our IT environment. P4 – Provide value by delivering exceptional services, using data, analytics, and stakeholder engagement as our guide. P5 – The university’s mission and FAS values guide everything we do. P6 – We provide employees with opportunities to learn and grow. P7 – We improve the community experience by engaging campus and each other. P8 – We value employee well-being through inclusion and work-life balance. |
Shows connection ("golden thread") to our ITS Strategy. Shows patterns and diversity of principles embodied in our project portfolio. |

The ITS Project Metrics Dashboard displays aggregated metric results with breakdowns by project portfolio and project size, as well as drill down to specific project data.
