Měření úspěchu vaší služby

Měření úspěchu vaší služby

Existují různé způsoby měření toho, jak vaše služba funguje. Měli byste použít takovou metodu, v závislosti na tom, co se snažíte zjistit a zda měříte:

• transakční službu
• end-to-end user journey, nebo něco netransakčního jako jsou webové stránky
• jak vaše služba pomáhá dosáhnout organizační strategie nebo politik

Measuring transactions

You can usually see how well a transaction is working for users by using performance metrics combined with user research methods like usability testing.

When designing your metrics, think about the types of data to collect that will show you how your transaction is performing.

Don’t just rely on digital analytics. Use a range of data sources – for example user feedback, call centre data or financial information like the costs of hosting your transaction.

Have a performance analyst on your team from the start of discovery and make them part of the process of building your transaction.

Measuring an end-to-end journey or non-transactional website

You sometimes need other tools in addition to performance metrics to measure whether something is working.

For example if you need to measure:

• a user journey from GOV.UK guidance into your transaction
• a user journey across multiple transactions that solve a whole problem for users
• a non-transactional service, like information on a website

In these cases, you can use usability benchmarking.

This involves setting users a series of tasks that span across a journey and seeing how easy the tasks are for them to complete.

It commonly involves measuring task completion rates and the time it takes the user to complete each task.

By repeating the process periodically and comparing results you can see if the tasks are getting easier to complete over time.

Assessing whether you’re addressing an organisational strategy or policy issue

If you’re looking to prove that your work is addressing a wider strategy - or talk about your work in a way that appeals to stakeholders - use benefits realisation techniques.

This helps you work out:

• the size of the problem you’re solving
• how fixing the problems contribute to wider organisational aims or strategies
• how to make a robust case for making one type of intervention over another
