We measure ‘work’ so we can assess the efficiency and effectiveness of a business initiative in realising<br />
outcomes for an agency or the government, and establish the performance relationships that exist between<br />
inputs and outputs.<br />

Figure 4-25: Projects Measurement Branch<br />
In adhering to endorsed project management methodologies, performance indicators for projects should be<br />
defined when projects are planned, and measurements should be taken at regular intervals throughout project<br />
execution. Because of the novel nature of projects, most of the measurement indicators defined for a project are<br />
likely to be unique to that project and not suitable for re-use. However, projects can generically be measured for<br />
adherence to planned budget and for earned value over time being within stated tolerance parameters (for<br />
example, budget +/– 2% of plan).<br />
The attributes for project measurement described here are those characteristics of projects that are common<br />
regardless of the purpose of the project or the agency undertaking the project. These attributes are not intended<br />
to be an exhaustive list of all possible measurement attributes for a project. Some project management<br />
methodologies (such as PMBoK) prescribe performance measurements for measuring project process<br />
efficiency and effectiveness.
