Incident Resolution Time
Incident resolution time is one of the main KPIs used on an incident management dashboard. It counts the number of hours from the time an event is reported and when it is finally resolved. This KPI aids companies in identifying bottlenecks or potential development areas and offers insights into the effectiveness of the incident management process. It is possible to further segment incident resolution time into subcategories like time to identify, time to escalate, and time to resolve.
Incident Volume and Trends
The number and patterns of incidents must be monitored for effective incident management. By highlighting incident frequency over a certain time frame, this KPI enables companies to see trends and probable causes of recurrent problems. Businesses may efficiently allocate resources, identify areas of risk, and put preventative measures in place by monitoring incident volume and patterns. This KPI aids firms in ensuring that incident management initiatives are in line with corporate goals.
Incident Priority and Impact
Effective incident management depends on knowing the importance and impact of occurrences. Organizations may prioritize resources and spend them appropriately by classifying events based on their priority levels and effect on company operations. Dashboards for incident management may provide metrics for event impact and priority, allowing stakeholders to gauge the seriousness of issues and take necessary action.
Incident Response and Resolution SLAs
SLAs, or service level agreements, are essential to incident management. They determine the anticipated response and resolution timelines for various event categories. Dashboards for incident management keep track of and show SLA compliance data, such as the proportion of issues that are addressed within the specified time limit. Organizations may take remedial action and improve customer satisfaction by identifying areas where service standards are not being reached by analyzing SLA performance.

Customer Satisfaction and Feedback
A key component of incident management is client satisfaction. Organizations may evaluate the effectiveness of their incident management strategies by gathering customer feedback and tracking satisfaction levels. KPIs for customer satisfaction, such as Net Promoter Score (NPS) or customer feedback ratings, are often included in incident management dashboards. Organizations may improve the entire customer experience and find areas for development by analyzing customer satisfaction indicators.
Incident Response Team Performance
The efficacy of incident management is directly impacted by the incident response team's performance. KPIs for team performance, including the average response time, first-call resolution rate, or issue escalation rate, may be included in incident management dashboards. These metrics provide businesses information on the effectiveness of the incident response team, allowing them to pinpoint training requirements, manage resource allocation, and enhance overall team performance.
Root Cause Analysis
To determine the underlying causes of occurrences, root cause analysis is a critical step in incident management. Analytics for root cause analysis, such as the most frequent root causes or patterns in root cause identification, may be used in incident management dashboards. Organizations may put preventative measures in place, lessen the likelihood of accidents happening again, and improve the reliability of their systems or services by examining root cause data.
Incident Communication and Collaboration
Collaboration and effective communication are important for successful incident management. KPIs for cooperation and communication, including the typical internal communication response time or the number of stakeholders participating in issue resolution, may be included in incident management dashboards. Organizations may discover communication bottlenecks, optimize cooperation procedures, and guarantee efficient and rapid incident response by tracking these indicators.
Incident Response Time
The duration it takes for the incident response team to recognize and start handling an occurrence is measured by incident reaction time. This KPI aids businesses in evaluating the efficacy and efficiency of their incident response procedure. It may be further divided into measures like acknowledgement time, team engagement time, and incident resolution process start time.
Incident Escalation Rate
The frequency with which events are escalated to higher-level management or assistance is measured by the incident escalation rate. Organizations may better understand incident complexity and front-line support's handling capacity by monitoring this KPI. A rising escalation rate can suggest that more resources or training are required.
Incident Reopen Rate
The number of events that are reopened after being first settled is represented by the incident reopen rate. A high reopen rate indicates that events may not have received the proper attention or that the fundamental cause may not have been successfully found and handled. Organizations may discover reoccurring problems and take appropriate action by monitoring this indicator.
Mean Time to Detect (MTTD)
MTTD estimates the typical amount of time needed from the moment an occurrence happens to notice it. The incident detection skills of the organization are shown by this KPI. Organizations may improve their capacity to react quickly to disasters and lessen the effect they have on daily company operations by cutting down on MTTD.
Mean Time to Repair (MTTR)
The average amount of time needed to resolve an issue is measured by MTTR. This KPI aids businesses in evaluating the efficacy and efficiency of incident resolution. Organizations may find ways to optimize their issue resolution procedures and reduce downtime by tracking MTTR.

Incident Backlog
The amount of unsolved events at any particular moment is reflected in the incident backlog. Organizations may understand their incident management team's workload and possible resource restrictions by tracking the backlog. Effective incident backlog management guarantees prompt incident response and prevents problems from building up.
Incident Trend Analysis
Analyzing historical event data to find patterns and trends is called incident trend analysis. Organizations can predict and proactively handle possible problems thanks to this study before they get out of hand. Organizations may put preventative measures in place and boost overall incident management effectiveness by spotting recurrent occurrences or developing patterns.
Incident Response Satisfaction
Understanding how effectively the event management team is fulfilling the expectations of internal stakeholders may be learned via measuring incident response satisfaction. This KPI may be evaluated via surveys or evaluations of customer feedback. Organizations may evaluate the efficiency of their incident management procedures and make the required adjustments by tracking incident response satisfaction.
Change Management Impact on Incidents
This KPI evaluates the influence of incident incidence and resolution on change management efforts. Organizations may discover probable incident causes and assess the efficacy of change management procedures by linking changes made to incidents. Organizations benefit from this study by having their change management procedures optimized and change-related issues reduced.
Incident Cost
Organizations may evaluate the financial effect of events on their operations by tracking incident costs. This KPI takes into account things like the price of resolving incidents, the price of downtime, and the price of lost productivity. Organizations may allocate resources more wisely, invest in preventative measures, and optimize incident response by analyzing incident costs.
