In the process of reviewing KPI performance in the Performance Analytics application,
the incident manager noticed the Average time to resolve an incident KPI scorecard was too high (24 hours).

As part of the improvement identification process, the incident manager analyzed the KPI performance by comparing it with values from other companies using the Benchmarks application, determined an improvement was needed, and set a target goal.
