KPI's Defined
Average Handle Time (AHT) - The total time an agent spends on a ticket or call, including talk/chat time
and after-call work, divided by the total number of handled tickets/calls.
Average Speed of Answer (ASA) - The average time it takes for an incoming call or chat to be answered by an
agent, starting from when the end user initiates contact.
Time to Escalate - The average time it takes for a ticket or issue to be escalated from
first-level support to the next tier (Level 2, Level 3, vendor, etc.).
First Call Resolution (FCR) - The percentage of issues resolved during the initial interaction with the end
user, without the need for a callback or escalation.
Response within SLA - The percentage of tickets where the initial response was provided within the
timeframe defined by the service level agreement.
Chat Abandon % - The percentage of chat sessions started by users that are abandoned before an
agent responds or before the interaction is completed.
Average Chat Time - The average duration of chat sessions handled by agents.
End User Satisfaction Rating (CSAT) - The average satisfaction score given by end users (commonly on a 1–5 scale)
after support is provided.
Survey Response Rate - The percentage of end users who respond to satisfaction surveys out of the
total number of surveys sent.
Aux Usage - The percentage of time agents spend in “auxiliary” or unavailable states
(break, training, meeting, offline, etc.) compared to their total logged-in
time.
Abandon % - The percentage of incoming calls that are abandoned by the caller before
reaching an agent.
Assignment Accuracy - The percentage of tickets assigned correctly to the right team or individual on
the first attempt.
QA Score - The average quality assurance score based on call/ticket evaluations against
defined standards (communication, troubleshooting, process adherence, etc.).
Canceled Adherence - The percentage of scheduled shifts or activities agents fail to adhere to
(e.g., missing login times, breaks, or scheduled tasks).
Productivity – Tickets Handled - The number of tickets closed or resolved by an agent within a given timeframe.
Resolution Rate - The percentage of tickets resolved (closed successfully) compared to the total
number received.
Tickets Reopened - The percentage of tickets that were closed but later reopened by the end user
due to the issue not being fully resolved.
Knowledgebase Used - The percentage of tickets where agents accessed or used knowledgebase articles
to resolve the issue.
Ticket to Call Ratio - The ratio of logged tickets to calls handled, showing how many calls result in
formal ticket creation.
