PRODUCT OWNER BU XX
SAMPLE N/A
PROJECT OVERVIEW/BACKGROUND
(current situation, problem, objectives)
<CLIENT> has requested the following additional reporting changes to their existing BI TOOL:
 Key Driver weighting update, which will change the results of the Total Customer Satisfaction
(TCS) calculation
 Revise Time Period options by adding “Incentive Period” and removing the existing “Latest
Month”
 Re-organizing the reporting of the existing Key Drivers into Groups and Subgroups.
Key Driver Weighting Update
The weighed values for the existing Key Drivers will be updated. This change will modify the calculation
results of the existing calculation.
Time Period Reporting Update
The first change is related to their revised employment measure program. The client has asked to
implement a new time period “Incentive Period” which would replace the existing “Latest Month” time
period. This change will impact the reporting results throughout the tool when this new time period is
selected.
Key Driver Reporting Update
1 February 2011 Confidential | Page 1 of 14

An additional change will modify the way the Key Driver metric results are reported throughout the tool.
Each key metric will be assigned to 1 of 3 Key Driver category groups. Results for the current key driver
metrics and these new category groups will be displayed on the BI TOOL.
Summary of Required Updates
These requests will require the following updates to the existing tool
 Update of the weighted values for the existing Key Driver attributes.
 Update the Global Time Period Selection Module
 Update the Scorecard reporting components
 Update to the Division Summary component presented on the Customer Satisfaction Conrol
Center page
 Update the Key Driver Summary component presented on the Satisfaction Snapshot pages.
 Update the Key Drivers presentation on the Survey Question Summary Page
 Update of the available attributes for viewing on the Trends page.
 Update of the available attributes for viewing on the Peer Comparisons page.
 Update the Performance Report to handle the revised TCS calculation change and the
INCENTIVE TIME PERIOD update.
 Update the Employee Report to handle the TCS calculation change / Key Driver Category
change.
 Update the Store Reports output to handle the TCS calculation change / Key Driver Category
update.
 Update the Goals so that a goal is set for each Incentive Period.
KEY DRIVER GROUP ASSIGNMENTS
Each key driver will be assigned to 1 of 3 Key Driver Group Categories. These group category results will
be presented on the BI TOOL as described in this document.

IMPACT TO THE BI TOOL – TCS CALCULATION RULES CHANGE
The results for the TCS calculated values will change as a result of the updated key driver weights, but
the existing calculation rules and their implementation will NOT change.
ADD “INCENTIVE PERIOD” / REMOVE “LATEST MONTH”
REPORTING PERIODS
The existing time period reporting options will be modified. The existing default time period “LATEST
MONTH” will be removed from the tool. A new time period “INCENTIVE PERIOD” will be added. This

time period will become the DEFAULT time period for the tool. The functionality of the BI TOOL for
reporting time periods will remain UNCHANGED in that, all components will report results for all data that
occurs within the start and end periods of the selected time period. On the BI TOOL, the INCENTIVE
PERIOD option will replace the current “LATEST MONTH” option and show up as the left most item on
the control.
INCENTIVE PERIOD DETERMINATION RULES
The “Incentive Period” will follow “QUARTER-TO-DATE” rules, except that the quarters will be defined by
the <CLIENT> fiscal calendar year. The Quarters are as follows:
Quarter Time Period
1 Feb-Apr
2 May-Jul
3 Aug-Oct
4 Nov-Jan
INCENTIVE PERIOD START DATE
 The Incentive Period QUARTER will always correspond to the actual fiscal quarter the company
is currently observing based on the CURRENT DATE.
 For example, if the date is August 28th, the Fiscal Quarter would be QUARTER 3 and the
Incentive Period start date would begin July 30th (the beginning of the current fiscal quarter).
INCENTIVE PERIOD END DATE
 Being a quarter-TO-DATE measure, the END DATE for this period will be based on the
CURRENT DATE WITHIN THE CURRENT FISCAL QUARTER.
 Again, if the date is August 28th, the current Incentive Period would begin July 30th (the start of
the 3rd fiscal period) and would end at the CURRENT DATE, August 28th, which is the latest date
that has passed within the current fiscal period.
Because the BI TOOL currently posts data updates MONTHLY (and not on a daily basis), the data results
reported will include all data posted since the start of the current fiscal quarter and the most recent data
results posts to the tool upto and including the current date.
Once the CURRENT DATE falls within a new FISCAL QUARTER the INCENTIVE PERIOD becomes
based on the new fiscal quarter. The INCENTIVE PERIOD START DATE becomes the beginning of the
new QUARTER and the END DATE becomes the CURRENT DATE.

IMPACT TO THE BI TOOL – TIME PERIOD REPORTING CHANGE
The BI TOOL will continue to function as it is currently implemented, reporting on all data between the
start of the current INCENTIVE PERIOD and ending with the most recent data posted within this period.
The results will be very similar to the existing Year-To-Date time period reporting scenario, except that the
start date will always be determined by the present Fiscal Quarter and will always contain no results
beyond those existing in the complete Fiscal Quarter period (INCENTIVE PERIOD).
GOAL UPDATES
Goals will now be set for each INCENTIVE PERIO (4 goals per year). To leverage the existing Goal
framework, this goal can be set for the same value for each month in each Incentive Period. The rules for
determining Goals for any Aggregated Period (i.e.: Year-To-Date) will remain unchanged.
KEY DRIVER SUMMARY REPORTING CHANGES
As described earlier in this document, the overall structure of the Key Drivers is being modified in this
change. These updates will require changes in the current presentation of the Key Drivers on the BI
TOOL itself.
Key Driver Summary Reporting Change
The Key Driver Summary object will be updated to show the results of the drivers themselves, and their
new Driver Category Groups. Each Category Group will be displayed first, above the actual Drivers in
that group. These driver results will then be presented next below the group row. The weights and
values for both the Key Driver Category Groups and the Drivers will be presented. Each Key Driver will
always be presented along with any other drivers belonging to the same category group.
An illustration of the presentation of the Key Drivers Summary is presented below:

ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS/COMMENTS
GW: Answers to these questions have all been addressed and updated in this document
(2/15/2011).
TCS Calculation Questions
 NEED CONFIRMATION AND SIGN-OFF ON ALL BUSINESS RULES FOR TCS / KEY DRIVER
CALCULATIONS
 I assume that all calculations going forward (starting with the Feb 2011 posting) will use the new
TCS calculation rules. All previous data will not change.
 If that is the case, how should we handle cases where two values are being compared and the
calculations are different (this will actually happen throughout the tool)

a. EX: scorecard: TCS vs. Year Ago Same Period
b. Ex: TCS vs Last Period (when period is Feb 2011)
 Rolling 3 Months until May will be a combination of the OLD TCS calculation and new
calculation… does this matter?
TCS Goals
 How will goals be affected for rolling periods? I assume we already have this figured out since
we have Rolling 3 Months in the tool, but now we will have at least a few periods where the TCS
calculations are different during the rolling period.
Survey Summary Question for Key Drivers Groups
 When we show these new Key Driver category groups on the Survey Summary page, are we
going to show variance values against prior periods, even though these groups are new for FY
2011. I mean the data is there, so we can show it, just checking if that is the requirement.
Situation Summary
 How will the algorithm for calculating Situation Summary (at all levels) be affected by this
change?
 What are the new rules for determining Situation Summary?
Performance Report Changes
 How will the Performance Report itself be updated?
 Do we want to add the Key Driver Category results as columns to the report?
 What other changes will be needed to the existing Performance Report?
Trends / Peer Comparison Question
 Are you expecting the 3 driver category groups (Total Standards, Total Service, Total In-Stock) to
be linked to the Trends page and available for Trend Page results viewing?
 Same question for Peer Comparison? With these driver group attributes be available there?
Selecting Historical Periods
 The previous work to implement the ability to select and view past historical periods is in test and
will be ready for deployment soon.
o Are we keeping this work and continuing the implementation?
o How will this functionality integrate with the newly requested changes?
