Measuring our Progress

An important component of the division's FY23-27 Strategic Plan is ensuring accountability and transparency. The division tracks our progress on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) identified as most impactful in demonstrating meaningful progress towards the division's vision, mission, and priorities. Additional high-level data and metrics which help guide decision-making are also available through the Dashboard.

The division's public Data Dashboard, developed in Microsoft PowerBI, a web-based, interactive platform which presents data through simple graphics, charts, and tables so it is easy to read and interpret. The dashboard also allow users to filter and sort data in a variety of ways.

Listed below are the strategic priorities along with links to the PowerBI Dashboard for the KPIs and data metric monitored by division staff. Individual dashboards are updated on monthly, quarterly, and annual cycles (based on the data's availability), with the reporting date provided in the lower right-hand corner.
