Which department should I fix first in the PMI Adoption Index dashboard?

Use the “Weight (high → low)” view and follow this checklist in the PMI adoption index.

Colour only shows how far off-target a department is.
Weight shows how much that miss drags the hotel’s score.
Fix the first bar that combines low colour and serious weight—sometimes that’s a wide amber, not a thin red.

1. Find the first non-green bar

  • Green = on target → skip.
  • Amber / Red = below target → stop here. Amber or red bar carries the biggest weight (%), so turning it green lifts the hotel score quickest.

2. Colour vs Weight — who wins?

  • Red + real width (≈ ≥ 5 %) → fix first. It hurts twice (low score and big weight).
  • Thin red (< ≈ 2 %) → ignore until the wide ambers are fixed.
  • Widest amber beats skinny red every time – weight moves the index more than colour once reds are just slivers.

3.  Open the tile → attack the fattest routine group

  • Click the bar (or Switch to table view ▸ View measurements).
  • Four routine groups appear: Plan / Do / Monitor / Adjust.
  • Start with the group that shows the highest weight – that’s the fastest win.

4. Park the low-impact stuff

  • Bars under ~2 % weight can wait until heavyweights are green.
  • Tech tiles (e.g. Integration status) only matter if data is actually missing – they don’t influence the Adoption Index.

Quick rule-of-thumb

  • Fat red? (wider than a fingertip on screen) → fix it.
  • No fat reds? → fix the widest amber.
  • Work left-to-right until every bar is green or too thin to move the needle.
