Method and apparatus for defining performance milestone track for planned process
First Claim
1. A method of defining a performance milestone track for a planned process, comprising:
- selecting a desired time range in relation to a duration for a repeatable process in conjunction with using a computational device to define a set of average assessment trajectories for the repeatable process;
retrieving historical data from a data storage device accessible to the computational device, wherein the historical data is representative of assessment data for a plurality of actors in conjunction with selective assessments of the plurality of actors during performances of the repeatable process, wherein the historical data includes an assessment parameter identifying a value for the corresponding selective assessment;
processing a select time portion of the retrieved historical data at the computational device using a binning algorithm, wherein the binning algorithm assigns historical data for the select time portion across a plurality of quantile range bins based on select ranges of assessment parameter values for the corresponding historical data; and
separately processing a select actor portion of the retrieved historical data for each quantile range bin at the computational device using a smoothing algorithm to form the set of average assessment trajectories for the repeatable process.

Abstract
A method of defining a performance milestone track for a planned process includes: selecting a time range relating to a repeatable process to define a set of average assessment trajectories, retrieving historical data representative of assessment data for actors in conjunction with selective assessments of the actors during performances of the repeatable process. The historical data includes an assessment parameter identifying a value for the selective assessment. The method includes processing a select time portion of the historical data using a binning algorithm to assign historical data for the select time portion across quantile range bins based on select ranges of assessment parameter values for the historical data and separately processing a select actor portion of the historical data for each quantile range bin using a smoothing algorithm to form the set of average assessment trajectories for the repeatable process. A computational device for performing the method is also provided.
