Establishing Lead Measures practice test

Lead measures are the small wins that lead to the completion of a large goal or lag measure. Given the absence of physical oversight in a virtual team, these measures provide milestones to ensure progress. They help to assess the performance of a team or a team member, providing guidance if correction is required. Typically, these measures should be predictive, meaning they can foresee success and are influenceable by the team members. Tracking these measures at regular intervals can keep every member on the same page and motivate team members to achieve these micro-goals, contributing to the larger objectives of the project.
