Key Performance Indicator is a way to define an advancement. For a target, we have to write what corresponds to:

  • 30%: if only 30% is reached, what do we want to reach? What is the most important part to reach?

  • 100%: This is the full featured target. It is also over quality.

When they are playing by themselves, you may have some time for yourself. If you move too much they may think of you and come or ask something. This could be seen as a trap: if you move then you are not quiet anymore. If you can't do what you want or like while being quiet, then move.
