A performance management system typically includes scorecards (structured sets of KPIs aligned to objectives), dashboards (visual reporting interfaces), and KPI documentation (definitions, formulas, owners, data sources, targets, thresholds). These components enable consistent measurement, reporting, and action. An organizational chart describes reporting lines and structure, but it is not a core component of the performance management system itself. It can support implementation (helping assign KPI owners and data custodians), but it is not part of the measurement and management toolkit in the way documentation, scorecards, and dashboards are. In KPI project planning, the essential deliverables include: KPI selection outputs, documented KPI library, data collection and validation processes, reporting templates/dashboards, governance cadence, and change management/training. A common pitfall is building dashboards without documentation; people then argue about definitions and trust. Another pitfall is unclear ownership; while an org chart can help assign roles, the performance management system must explicitly define accountability and routines beyond the org structure.
