Sooritusaste

Sooritusaste is a Finnish term that denotes the level or degree of performance, completion, or achievement of a task, process, or objective. It is a general metric used to describe how much of a planned result has been attained, often expressed as a proportion, percentage, or a qualitative level on a scale. The concept is employed across various fields, including education, training, project management, manufacturing, and health care, to gauge progress and outcomes.

In practice, sooritusaste serves as a way to quantify progress or quality. In education and training, it can reflect how well learning objectives have been met or how much of a course has been completed. In project management and operations, it describes the extent to which deliverables have been produced or services rendered according to plan. In quality control, it may indicate the rate of compliant, defect-free output. The term emphasizes both the extent of accomplishment and, implicitly, the remaining work.

Measurement of sooritusaste is typically contextual and variable. Common representations include percentages (0–100%), fractions, or qualitative levels such as low, medium, high. Data sources may include progress reports, assessment results, production logs, or performance dashboards. Because scales are organization-specific, the interpretation of a given sooritusaste value should consider the defined criteria for that context.

Related concepts include suoritus (performance or achievement), soorituskyky (capability or performance ability), and edistymä (progress). The term highlights a central idea in evaluating effectiveness: how close the actual result is to the intended objective.
