3.3.4: Metrics and Incentives

Adopt Metrics and Incentives

Other Information:

The DoD-wide net-centric governance process will identify incentives and metrics. Users and system developers will be guided by incentives to encourage and foster participation. Incentives are intended to prompt users and developers to contribute to increased data visibility across the Enterprise. Incentives may include rapid or continued funding for initiatives that implement these data approaches (e.g., providing metadata in accordance with the DDMS). Incentives may also include Enterprise-visible “top products” lists that cite specific sources that have been especially valuable to users. Metrics will be collected to track implementation and application of the approaches. Metrics will be helpful in evaluating usage to ensure participation across the Department. Metrics also serve as a means to evaluate the effectiveness of the overall Data Strategy. Measurement techniques will be developed to ensure that metrics are captured in a useful and consistent manner. Moreover, multiple publication methods such as metrics web sites and Enterprise- and COI-specific metrics reports will be made available Department-wide to promote awareness of data management successes and areas requiring improvement.
