Scorecards are often part of a dashboard, which is used to display anything from a
single scorecard to several scorecards, reports, and other information.
When designing the KPIs for an organization, the primary planning tool is the
strategy map. With it, organizations document their goals and carefully describe
the elements they will measure in order to ensure their company grows. Once the
strategy map has been created, the organization seeks to identify the KPIs that will
map to the goals identified. These KPIs are then created, scorecards are built, and the
monitoring of the business begins.

PerformancePoint Server uses key performance indicators to create
scorecards. These scorecards are then placed on dashboards, which are the
objects end users will ultimately access in order to perform the monitoring
piece of the monitoring, analysis, and planning triad. PerformancePoint Server
uses the terminology of both dashboards and scorecards, but as mentioned in
Chapter 4 the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably.
