KPI’s in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007

Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) are metrics used to quantify objectives to reflect an organization's strategic performance. See the article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_performance_indicators for more information about KPIs.
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 has built in features that allow you to manage and display KPI information in various ways. KPI indicators can be derived from a SharePoint list, an Excel Workbook, data in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services and manually entered information. I'm going to show you how to create a KPI list and manually populate it with data.
Lets create a Sales Analysis KPI list and see what results can be displayed. To get started, choose a site that's currently not in production use, such as a private sub-site.
