Net Promoter Score

A customer loyalty metric that gauges how likely people are to recommend a companys products or services to others, summarized into a single score from a simple survey question.

Key Points

  • Based on one survey question: 'How likely are you to recommend us?' rated from 0 to 10.
  • Responses are grouped as Detractors (0-6), Passives (7-8), and Promoters (9-10).
  • NPS = percent Promoters minus percent Detractors; the result ranges from -100 to +100.
  • Used to track customer sentiment and guide product or service improvements over time.

Example

After an agile release, the team surveys 200 customers. They receive 90 Promoters, 70 Passives, and 40 Detractors. NPS = (90/200*100) - (40/200*100) = 45 - 20 = 25. The team reviews Detractor feedback to prioritize fixes in the next sprint.

PMP Example Question

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.
