This article presents a framework that helps IS managers ensure that all critical aspects of the IS function are represented in a measurement program and that the metrics developed for each of them are based on the delineation of appropriate goals. Creating this comprehensive, custom-tailored program provides IS managers with the information they need to formulate targeted actions for improvement.","PeriodicalId":117295,"journal":{"name":"Inf.
