KPI Expert Example:

A software development company is measuring the Number of Defects per Functional Point

This is calculated over a six months period.

Total number of defects found in the software: 40

Total number of function points: 4

40/4 = 10 defects per function point

The aim is to minimise this to 2 defects or less per function point.
