  • Publication number: 20070283326
    Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium for setting performance milestones and monitoring their achievement toward a target goal through a graphical user interface. Intermediate performance milestone values are edited by applying configuration data that operate with performance algorithms to more accurately define expected performance over a predetermined time period. The system provides users with rules, policies, and/or constraints, which define and bound dependencies associated with intermediate performance milestones, which in turn can be automatically adjusted to accommodate various users. One or more graphical depictions show boundary information that define movement limits of intermediate points, which can be set in either direction based on dynamic evaluation of existing points and their associated rules, policies, and constraints.
