A measure is a user defined value that is stored in PowerSteering to display variance from benchmarks or baselines and progress towards goals.
Note: The Measures widget may not be located in the same order as displayed. Widgets may be moved to a different location on the Summary page.
Note: Multiple measures can exist with the same name. This often occurs when users create multiple versions with updated information or keep a version available to make copies from quickly. Here are the ways in which multiple Measures with the same name are displayed:
Report Wizard: All instances of the same Measure are displayed when the measure name is selected from the list of available Measures.
Measure Mass Attach/Evaluate: If the Attach only if not already attached option is not selected, then every time a new instance of the Measure is created, it will be added to the work item.
Dashboard: The Dashboard only displays one instance of the Measure, which is always the most current version.
Visual Portals: All instances of the Measure are listed, allowing the user to select any desired.
Copy Project: All instances of the Measures are copied to the new Project (no values are copied).
