Hi Russell. As others have commented, your metric focus on numbers, and not quality. I think you have two primary sets of people to address. The first is the people you work with (presumably developers and people generating business requirements/product owners). They will have their own ideas as to what they see as success from you, which will include whether you deliver designs on time, and whether they trust your professional judgement. You could derive some metrics from discussions with them. The second audience is the users of the applications that you are developing for. You can survey and talk to users, and get measures of overall satisfaction, or of satisfaction with key modules. You can also measure in a number of ways whether people can successfully complete tasks, and how long it takes, and where they get stuck. You can measure how many problems you identify with the usability of live applications, and how many you have design solutions for. Those are the sorts of things I'd be more interested in, as they relate more directly to business success. * Nick Gassman - Usability and Standards Manager - http://ba.com * ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
