Appendix Organizational Structure Key Performance Indicators Benchmarked Data and Performance

Organizational Structure

Key Performance Indicators Top five indicators include: –Site/application use metrics –Process data (Agile, Basecamp project management system) –Ticketing (Jira) –Customer feedback, project inquiries –Employee satisfaction and engagement Also review financials, project flow on a regular basis

Benchmarked Data and Performance IT is organized very differently across peer institutions, making direct benchmarking extremely difficult. There are not direct peers to benchmark against for the applied research and development mission of the Office of Enabling Technologies, but our peer institutions perceive our capability to be a strategic advantage.
