Terminology for infrastructure performance indicators
| Term | Explanation/definition |
|---|---|
| Desired outcome(s) | A forward-looking statement (or set of statements) of what it is that infrastructure is expected to enable. Note: Desired outcomes provide infrastructure with purpose; infrastructure performance cannot be meaningfully measured without them. |
| Outcome-oriented PI | A strategic PI directly aligned with one or more desired outcomes that infrastructure is expected to enable. |
| Outcome dimension | A specific component of a desired outcome. Note: This term is necessary, as it is postulated that desired outcomes are typically broad concepts comprising multiple dimensions and that they can be better understood and measured if decomposed into a set of simpler elements or outcome dimensions. |
| Outcome subdimensions | A specific component of an outcome dimension. Note: This term is necessary because in some instances outcome dimensions may also need to be decomposed further before they can be measured or understood. |
