In this lesson, you’ll learn about the performance measure and KPI struggles and bad habits that led to the creation of PuMP. You’ll also see how you can use an exercise called the PuMP Mind Map to help others see the relevance of a better approach to performance measurement (which, of course, is PuMP).
