Measure

In business, measures represent aggregated information on quantifiable operating facts. They are intended to enable easy control of processes and results.

Example

An example of a measure is the process duration (or process cycle time). It is calculated based on two process instance measurement points, Start time and End time. The calculation/measurement is performed for each process instance. When analyzing multiple process instances, the measurement values of the individual instances are aggregated (e.g., by averaging) and the aggregated values are then displayed in PPM. Measures are sometimes referred to as metrics, as well.

Measure evaluation

The rating of a measure indicates the effects of an increasing measure value on the achievement of your process goals.
