I can't tell if you mean you want to measure the performance of the staff
who do usability work for you, the impact usability had had on end users, or
the performance of end users doing their work.  Are you trying to cost
justify (or optimize) the usability group within Enterprise?

Subject: Metrics :: Usability Group Performance

We will soon be tracking the performance of our usability group with
metrics.

We want to balance timeliness, cost, and quality of the products we develop.
Finding a set of key metrics that will help drive the right behaviors (e.g.
do things faster but without cutting corners) is essential.

Has anyone else successfully used metrics to measure the performance of
their group?

Thanks,
