How are comparators and objectives differ?Why they set comparators after the period?

Performance is reviewed against the benchmarks after the period.Objectives usually follow thenSMART rules. Comparators are really just the figures used in objectives.Not much difference really.AuthorPostsViewing 2 posts - 1 through 2 (of 2 total)You must be logged in to reply to this topic.Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Log In
