I was into the “who cares?” mentality early. But, others weren't. The questions on the table, gentle-beings, are:
1. Are your goals being met? 2. Are your SLA's being met? If the answers are “YES” (#2 being more important), go do something else. If the answers are “NO”, the question is: 3. Are your business processes being impacted? If the answer is “NO”, go do something else. If the answer is “YES”, the question is: 4. What can I do to fix it. The question is NEVER what is a 'BAD', or too 'HIGH', goal. Goals are relative to each other, NOT absolutes. The real answer is: We do what we have to, to get the job done.
