Store Rollout

Introduction

Deploying robust workflows is only half the battle. To prove their value—and secure ongoing buy‑in—you need clear, quantifiable metrics. In this article, we’ll show you how to define success, capture the right data, and build dashboards in monday.com that surface your true return on investment.

Why ROI Matters for Workflows

• Validate Your Investment: Demonstrate time and cost savings to stakeholders.
• Drive Continuous Improvement: Identify which processes yield the biggest gains.
• Justify Expansion: Use hard numbers to scale templates and automations across teams.

Defining Your Key Metrics

1. Time Saved per Task: Compare baseline completion times vs. post‑automation times.
2. Error Reduction Rate: Track the drop in manual corrections or re‑work.
3. Throughput Increase: Measure the number of tasks closed per period.
4. Adoption Rate: Percentage of boards using your standard templates and automations.
5. Employee Satisfaction: Quick pulse surveys to capture qualitative impact.

Building a monday.com ROI Dashboard

1. Create a Metrics Board:
   • Columns for each KPI
   • Automations that update metrics in real time
2. Leverage Widgets:
   • Chart Widget: Visualize throughput trends
   • Battery Widget: Show completion percentage vs. target
   • Numbers Widget: Surface total hours saved
3. Set Sharing Permissions:
   • Read‑only links for executives
   • Interactive views for project leads

Case Study: Nexus Consulting

Challenge: Nexus had no visibility into the true impact of their project‑management overhaul.
Solution: Defined three core KPIs, built an ROI dashboard, and held monthly “data huddles.”
Result: Demonstrated a 40% reduction in project cycle time and secured budget for expanding automations company‑wide.

Tips for Long‑Term Success

• Automate Data Collection: Use monday.com integrations (e.g., Time Doctor, Zapier) to feed metrics automatically.
• Review Quarterly: Hold a “dashboard health check” to retire outdated metrics and add new ones.
• Share Quick Wins: Spotlight teams that exceed targets to build momentum and adoption.
