metric

A defined project or product characteristic along with the method, unit, and rules used to quantify or assess it.

Key Points

  • States both what attribute is being examined and exactly how it will be measured.
  • Specifies unit, formula, data source, cadence, and who collects the data.
  • Should be objective, reliable, and aligned with project or product goals.
  • Works with baselines and targets to enable comparison and trend analysis.

Example

In an agile software project, define "Sprint predictability" as: Completed story points / Committed story points per sprint, sourced from the team's backlog tool, calculated at the sprint review, with a target of 90% or higher.

ICS/OT Incident Response Drills and Exercises

An incident response plan is only a theory until the people who must use it have run it under pressure. This course helps OT engineers, operations leaders, IT responders, and security teams turn a plan on paper into a tested capability.

Define safe states and manual fallback before an incident forces the decision. Build escalation paths, tabletop exercises, and scenarios that expose the gaps a document review cannot find.

Then turn the results into evidence: an after-action report, owned improvements, recovery checks, and a drill cadence that keeps the program alive after the exercise ends.
