Characteristics of Properly Defined Metrics

by

Business Finance

For this week’s discussion, identify three project performance metrics that use moving-window measurements, and describe the challenges that project teams typically encounter in the use of these metrics. Also, identify ways to overcome these challenges.

Metrics that use rolling-wave or moving-window measurements are “metrics where the starting and finishing measurement dates can change as the project progresses” (Kerzner, 2013, p. 89).

Support your statements and conclusions using at least one of this week’s recommended readings and one outside reference (a peer-reviewed scholarly article published in the last five years, references not to include required or recommended reading assignments, or the textbook).

Respond to two or more of your classmate’s postings in any of the following ways:

  • Build on something your classmate said.
  • Explain why and how you see things differently.
  • Ask a probing or clarifying question.
