Progress measurement involves determining and reporting on task, activity, and project progress. Performance measurement compares this progress against defined criteria, targets, or benchmarks to assess whether a project is over or under-performing. It involves six key metrics: CV, SV, CPI, SPI, VAC, and TCPI. The outcomes of these measurements allow project managers to more proactively manage projects and improve projects’ success rates. There are five key processes involved in progress and performance measurement: progress measurement planning, performance measurement planning, progress and performance measurement execution, monitoring and control, and measurement closure. Performance measurement software, such as ARES PRISM, enables businesses to efficiently track, analyze, and report progress and performance measurement to improve decision-making and response time.
