Erfolgsgrade

Erfolgsgrade is a German-language term that denotes the degree or level of success achieved in a given task, process, or objective. The exact meaning depends on the context and the criteria defined for measurement. In everyday use the term can refer to a percentage, a score, or a qualitative category such as low, middle, or high success.

In education, der Erfolgsgrad may express the share of correctly completed items or the extent to which specified learning objectives have been met. It is commonly calculated by relating successful outcomes to the total number of tasks or criteria and can be reported as a percentage or another grading form used within a school or program.

In business and project management, Erfolgsgrade describe the degree to which predefined goals were achieved. They can form part of a performance dashboard and may be based on a combination of indicators such as timeliness, budget adherence, quality, and stakeholder satisfaction. Because there is no universal standard, organizations often define their own calculation method and grading scale.

Calculation and interpretation of an Erfolgsgrad are context-dependent. The denominator is the set of tasks, targets, or criteria; the numerator is the number of successful outcomes. Some models use weights for different indicators, while others apply a simple pass/fail approach. Typical representations include percentages or qualitative levels (for example, high, medium, low). Related terms include Erfolgsquote, Zielerreichungsgrad, and Leistungsgrad.
