Description
The Orpida Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) Excel Template is a user-friendly spreadsheet tool designed to perform Importance-Performance Analysis calculations and generate the resulting IPA chart. Use this tool to easily visualize the standard four-quadrant IPA matrix based on importance and performance ratings for various attributes or alternatives, often gathered from expert evaluations.
Key Features & Usage:
- Simple Requirements: All you need is Microsoft Excel (Version 2010 or later) installed.
- Easy Start: The template includes a pre-filled example demonstrating a completed IPA analysis to guide you.
- Clear Results: After inputting your data and running the analysis, the tool automatically generates a complete IPA matrix. This chart clearly maps your evaluated items into the four crucial quadrants based on their relative importance and performance scores.
- Flexible Data Input: Supports expert ratings collected using various Likert scales, ranging from 3-point to 9-point options.
- Customizable Axes: A significant advantage is the flexibility in defining the chart’s central axes (crosshairs). The template supports two common methods:
- Data-Centered: Uses the actual mean scores from your importance and performance data as the central point.
- Scale-Centered: Uses the theoretical midpoint of the chosen Likert scale (e.g., the midpoint between 1 and 5 for a 5-point scale) as the central point.
This IPA Excel template helps you effectively analyze data, identify strategic priorities, and visualize where to focus your efforts based on the importance-performance relationship.
