Compare current data with past results. This historical perspective helps you understand how your metrics have evolved over time and identify long-term trends or changes.

Use KPIs judiciously

When KPIs represent more than one use case, add them only once to the area that makes the most sense for you.

Develop a phased approach

Build your KPI portfolio to mature alongside your organization's use of SAP LeanIX. New customers might start with KPIs from the "Data quality" group, then complement them with other metrics. Once data quality is in shape, you can focus on specific use cases like application rationalization or ERP transformation.
