The Metrics Track
8 lessons · 5 micro + 3 deep dives · exam & certificateWhat each contact-centre metric really tells you, where targets backfire, and how to cut your dashboard down to the numbers that drive decisions. Each lesson has a short self-check quiz; the track ends with an exam that earns a certificate.
- 1
What a metric is for
The behaviour you get is the behaviour you measure — choosing metrics is choosing incentives.
- 2
Service level vs answer rate
What each measures, why 80/20 is a choice not a law, and the abandonment trap.
- 3
Occupancy — the burnout dial
What occupancy measures, why it trades off against service, and the burnout risk of running it hot.
- 4
The tyranny of AHT
Essential for planning, toxic as an agent target — and what to measure instead.
- 5
CSAT, NPS & quality
What the experience metrics really capture, their sampling and bias traps, and how to use them honestly.
- 6
Leading vs lagging indicators
Which numbers warn you in time to act, and which only confirm what already happened.
- 7
Kill your dashboard
Vanity metrics vs decision metrics — cutting the board down to what people actually act on.
- 8
The cost of your service level
Why 80/20 is a tradition not an answer — and how to find the service level that costs least.
