WHAT TO MEASURE: Business value, Stakeholders, Forecasts
What are used to ensure the project deliverable stays aligned to the business case and the benefits realization plans?
Business value measurements
Metrics that measure financial business value include:
- Cost-benefit ratio
- Benefits delivery vs business case
- Return on investment (ROI)
- Net present value (NPV)
(CBR, BD, ROI, NPV)
A measure of the expected present value of an investment with the initial cost that is used to determine if the costs of a project outweigh its benefits.
cost-benefit ratio =
Expected Present Value of Benefits / Expected Present Value of Costs
What does a cost-benefit ratio greater than 1 indicate?
The project should not be considered unless there are regulatory, social good, or other reasons to do the project.
What does a benefit-cost ratio greater than 1 indicate?
the project should be considered
A measure of the amount of financial return compared to
the cost
Return on investment (ROI)
The difference between the present value of inflows of capital and the present value of outflows of capital over a period of time
Net present value (NPV)
Stakeholder satisfaction can be measured with
- Surveys (or inferring satisfaction or lack of)
- Metrics - Net Promotor Score (NPS), Mood Chart, Moral, Turnover
What measures the degree to which a stakeholder (usually the customer) is willing to recommend a product or service to others?
Net Promotor Score (NPS)
It measures a range from -100 to +100.
A high NPS indicates?
A high Net Promoter Score not only measures satisfaction with a brand, product, or service, it is also an indicator of customer loyalty.
What can track the mood or reactions of a group of very important stakeholders—the project team?
A mood chart
At the end of each day, project team members can use colors, numbers, or emojis to indicate their frame of mind.
Project teams use what to consider what might happen in the future so they can consider and discuss whether to adapt plans and project work accordingly?
forecasts
What are a few examples of qualitative forecasts?
Qualitative forecasts are based on expert judgment and subjective opinions rather than on numerical data.
Examples include: expert judgement, surveys (mood chart, morale), turnover
Name 6 types of quantitative forecasts?
(ETC, EAC, VAC, TCPI, RA, TA)
- Estimate to complete (ETC)
- Estimate at completion (EAC)
- Variance at completion (VAC)
- To-complete performance index (TCPI)
- Regression analysis
- Throughput analysis
An earned value management measure that forecasts the expected cost to finish all the remaining project work?
Estimate to complete (ETC)
