Talk:Metrics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a highly specific usage of a very general term,.. and sooner or later it is going to have to get a qualified title and a disambig page. However there doesn't seem to be any reason to interfere until pages on alternative usages start to turn up. seglea 08:14, 26 May 2004 (UTC)

Metrics are typically used to help make decisions. An example is Return on Investment.

metrics are a way for someone sitting at a computer trying to solve a problem without just going out and getting it fixed right the first time, sort of like having a meeting. Nothing actually gets done, but you get to talk about it —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.15.178.130 (talk) 16:09, 12 March 2007 (UTC).
[edit] drunk persons interpretation
Read it three times, I thought it made sense. My understanding of it is: solely from reading the wiki... It is a term describing the quantifying of measurement, of anything, a general term. It is one step from a massive philosophical argument. I may be wrong. Symbol-tastic. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.69.20.20 (talk) 01:01, 30 March 2007 (UTC).
