KPI Hide-and-Seek Championship

We lost the KPI tracker. Again. Is it in SharePoint (Team Site > Documents > Metrics), or in Teams (which channel—general, ops-war-room, or q3-kpis-2023-old), or buried in an email titled “FINAL KPI Tracker – real-final.xlsx”? I search “KPI” and get 312 results, including “KPI_Tracker_v3_FINAL(1).xlsx” and a classic “KPI Tracker – DO NOT EDIT” that everyone edits. I DM three people and get three links: one 404, one personal OneDrive, and one screenshot cropped so tight I can’t tell if we’re bragging about EBITDA or pizza points. Meanwhile leadership wants the number “real quick.”

Spicy fix: one source of truth in SharePoint with a stable URL, pinned in Teams as a tab; file named “KPI Tracker.xlsx” (no versioning in the file name), a clearly assigned owner, and a last-updated timestamp at the top. Archive the zombies with a README that points to the live file and lock edit rights to the owners group. Next time someone asks for KPIs, I want to send a single link—not a treasure map.
