How KPIs Work in Enforcium

A KPI in Enforcium is a target value set for a specific metric over a defined period.

It is useful to distinguish between a Metric and a KPI:

• Metric shows what the company measures.
• KPI defines the target value that needs to be reached and the period in which it should be achieved.

For example, a team tracks the number of qualified sales leads:

The company continuously tracks qualified leads through the Metric. The KPI sets a specific target of at least 120 qualified leads for September.

This turns a metric the company tracks into a specific result with clear ownership and measurable progress.

To create a KPI, go to Goals → KPIs and click New KPI.

First, select the Metric you want to set a target for.

Then enter the Target value. Enforcium lets you define both the target number and the condition that determines whether the target has been reached.

For example:

Qualified Sales Leads ≥ 120

This means the team needs to generate at least 120 qualified sales leads.

Next, set the Timeline, which defines the period for achieving the target.

Use the Description field to add useful context. You can explain what counts as a successful result, specify relevant conditions, or provide any information the team needs to understand the KPI.

The final section is Ownership. Here, you can assign roles using the RACI model:

• Responsible — Positions with access to the Metric that are responsible for carrying out the work required to achieve the KPI.
• Accountable — Has overall responsibility for the result.
• Consulted — Provides input and takes part in relevant discussions.
• Informed — Keeps track of progress and the final result.

Once all fields are complete, click Create KPI.

A KPI card gives you a quick view of the result without opening its full details.

It shows:

• KPI name and Target value
• Related Metric
• Current progress as a percentage
• Actual Value
• Remaining amount needed to reach the target
• Responsible and Accountable
• Current performance signal
• Time remaining in the Timeline
• Tasks, Comments, and Decomposition

For example, a team has the following KPI:

Qualified Sales Leads ≥ 120

The team has already generated 78 qualified leads.

The card immediately shows:

• how much of the target has been achieved
• how many leads remain
• whether the team is progressing according to plan

This gives a manager a quick answer to two important questions:

What is the current metric value?

and

Are we on track to reach the required result?

The Metric connected to each KPI appears below the KPI name.

Its name is shown in blue and can be clicked. Selecting it opens the Metric Overview, where you can view detailed information about the metric.

The KPI is also displayed on the related Metric cards, so the KPI and its underlying metric can be viewed together.

The relationship looks like this:

Metric → KPI → Actual Data → Progress Toward Objective

For example:

The Metric provides the underlying measurement. The KPI adds a specific business goal and timeframe to that measurement.

To update the metric value, click Add data on the KPI card.

Enter:

For example, if the team generated 24 qualified leads, the responsible user can enter 24 and select the relevant date.

After saving, the new data is included in the current value of the connected Metric and in the KPI progress.

The expanded KPI card also includes a Recent data section. It shows the latest values, their dates, and the user who entered each value.

Enforcium makes it easier to see which KPIs are progressing as expected and which ones need attention.

The KPI card can show the following signals:

• Achieved — The goal has been reached.
• Exceeded — the goal has been exceeded.
• On track — The KPI is progressing according to plan.
• At risk — There is a risk that the target will not be reached on time.
• Off track — Current progress is significantly behind what is required.
• Overlimit — the expense has exceeded the set limit. Used for expense based KPIs with a condition such as ≤ or =.

These signals make it easier for managers to spot KPIs that need attention directly from the list.

A KPI also has a working status that is separate from its performance signal.

The KPI page includes:

• Active — Currently active KPIs.
• In Review — KPIs waiting for review.
• Completed — Completed KPIs.
• Canceled — Canceled KPIs.
• Failed — KPIs that were not achieved.
• Trash — Deleted KPIs.

This keeps current KPIs separate from those that have already been completed, canceled, or failed.

When a KPI is shared across several people, you can break it down using Decompose.

For example, a company sets:

Qualified Sales Leads ≥ 120

The KPI can be broken down across several people to define each person’s contribution to the overall result and make individual responsibility clear.

The number of people included in the decomposition is shown directly on the KPI card.

You can add Tasks to a KPI to connect the goal with the specific work the team needs to complete.

For example, the objective is 120 qualified leads, and the KPI moves into At risk.

The team can create related Tasks such as:

Launch a new paid campaign

Test a new outbound segment

Improve landing page conversion

This gives the team a clear view of:

the result to achieve → current progress → ownership → the work being done to improve the result

The number of related Tasks appears in the Tasks section of the KPI card.

The Comments section lets the team discuss a KPI in the context of its result.

For example, a Responsible person can explain why progress is behind plan, document a change in circumstances, or share information that the Accountable person needs to consider.

This keeps the relevant context alongside the KPI and makes it easier for everyone involved to follow decisions and updates.

To edit a KPI, open it and click Edit, or select Edit KPI from the ⋮ menu.

You can change:

Metric

Target value

Timeline

Description

Ownership

Click Save after making your changes.

The ⋮ menu provides additional actions:

• Edit KPI — Edit the KPI.
• Add data — Add a new metric value.
• Open metric — Open the connected Metric.
• Decompose — Break down the KPI.
• Add task — Create a related Task.
• Mark completed & copy — Complete the KPI and create a copy.
• Mark failed & copy — Mark the KPI as failed and create a copy.
• Turn off notifications — Disable notifications.
• Delete — Delete the KPI.

Copying is especially useful for recurring KPIs.

For example, the Head of Sales has a monthly KPI of Qualified Sales Leads ≥ 120. After completing the September KPI, they can close it and create a copy for the next period. This saves time when the same KPI structure is used repeatedly.

When a company has dozens of KPIs across different teams, you can switch between department tabs and search, filter, and sort KPIs within each department.

Use Search to find a specific KPI by name.

The filter lets you view:

All

At risk

On track

Off track

You can sort KPIs by:

Deadline

Metric type

Start Date

You can also choose Ascending or Descending order.

For example, a COO can filter for At risk KPIs to immediately see which results currently need attention.
