Not able to see KPI list in SharePoint 2010?

Guys,
I know we are very much familiar with KPI list in SharePoint 2007.
Main Function/Brief details:
A Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is a visual cue that communicates the amount of progress made toward a goal.
Key Performance Indicators are valuable for teams, managers, and businesses to evaluate quickly the progress made against measurable goals. By using SharePoint KPIs, you can easily visualize answers to the following questions:
What am I ahead or behind on? How far ahead or behind am I? What is the minimum I have completed?
If will be a shock for all of us if we don’t see the KPI list in SharePoint 2010 or so many questions will be a raised against Microsoft as why this option is eliminated in this new version of SharePoint. When I visited the /_layouts/create.aspx page to create the KPI list then I was surprised to view the list section without KPI list.
But don’t worry guys; KPI List still exists in SharePoint 2010 J
Here is the mystery reveals: The KPI list has been renamed as Status List in SharePoint 2010. Microsoft has published a great article on this and I want to share with all you to get started with the functioning of this status list:
If you are not able to see the status list under create list section then please follow the below mentioned steps and your issue will be resolved J
§  Open the sharepoint site on which you are working
§  Site actions
§  Site settings
§  On this page, you will see one more section named as ‘site actions’
§  Manage site features
§  Activate this feature ‘SharePoint Server Enterprise Site features’
§  As soon as you activate this option then please check your create list page i.e. http://Your_sitename/_layouts/create.aspx
If you have any queries/questions regarding the above mentioned information then please let me know. I would be more than happy to help you as well as resolves your issues J J
