• A key result area (KRA) is an strategic factor either internal
to the organization or external
• Strong positive results must be realized for the organization
to achieve its strategic goal(s),
• Key result areas are sometimes referred to “critical success
factors” or “key drivers of success.”

• KRA is the area identified as important or crucial
where a result will assist in the achievement of the
set objectives or goal.

metrics
• Give the leadership team an “indication” regarding progress
