Numbers like.... % of customers that reported at least one incident during the past year. Total number of incidents reported during the past year. Average time to resolve (not close) incidents for the year. Average time to respond to incidents by source[ Phone, email, web] Number of Bugs accepted during the past year. Number of Bugs fixed during the past year. Number of new features added during Version X. Number of new features from RFE's. Number of new features targeted to be added during Version X+1. Then spin up a few numbers about the RFE process too.... Number of customers who submitted an RFE's during the past year. Total number of RFE's submitted during the past year.
