Establish a Program to Enable Effective Performance Monitoring – Phase 1: Kick-Start the Performance Management Program Pilot

Author(s): Darin Stahl, Frank Trovato, David Xu

Determine which business transactions are most critical to the organization. This phase will take you through the following activities:

  • Create the project charter.
  • Document business transactions.
  • Establish scoring criteria.
  • Estimate impact of downtime for each application.
  • Assign transaction criticality.

Prioritizing each business transaction is critical to the success of performance management implementation. It is not feasible or practice to try and implement a solution that will address all transactions right at the start. Limit the scope and leverage an iterative pilot approach.
