One of the keys to successful project, program, and portfolio management is measuring the success in ways that support critical decisions. Planned vs. actual duration and cost, number of defects, and number of change requests are only a few of the powerful metrics that can help drive strategic decision-making. There are lots of metrics that can be measured but the key question is whether they are all relevant? It is extremely important for project managers to work with sponsors and stakeholder to identify the metrics that matters for customers, sponsors, stakeholders and the team, and then develop a plan to collect, analyze and report them on a regular basis.
