KPI Scorecard Template

A lighter scorecard for regular management use — one page, updated weekly.

Summary

The scorecard is the executive version of the dashboard: 5-7 top KPIs, trend arrows, and decisions needed.

Scorecard structure

  • Business area
  • KPI name
  • This week (value)
  • Target
  • Trend (↑ / → / ↓)
  • Status (🟢 / 🟡 / 🔴)
  • Action needed
  • Owner

Suggested KPI set (pick 5-7)

  • Revenue vs target
  • Pipeline value
  • New customers this period
  • Gross margin
  • Cash runway (months)
  • Customer churn
  • CSAT / thumbs
  • SLA compliance

Status thresholds

  • 🟢 — within 10% of target
  • 🟡 — 10-25% off target
  • 🔴 — more than 25% off target, or 2+ consecutive weeks red

Use weekly

  1. Owners update their numbers Monday AM
  2. 15-min review — every red KPI gets an action
  3. Actions carry into next week's scorecard

Tips

  • One page, no scrolling
  • Same format every week — consistency matters
  • Archive monthly scorecards — useful for year-end review
