PRODUCT INNOVATION BENCHMARK METRICS
The metrics and frameworks employed by PMG are key performance tools for helping you prioritize and focus your improvement opportunities. The Product Innovation Benchmark draws upon PRTM’s product development thought leadership and the combined benchmarking expertise of PRTM and PMG, developed over the past 10 years. Metrics are based on PRTM’s Product and Cycle-time Excellence model (PACE®)
The Product Innovation Benchmark covers both quantitative key performance indicators (KPI’s) as well as qualitative key performance levers (KPL’s). The KPI section focuses on Six Areas: Innovation, Productivity, Speed, Cost, Quality and Value:
