ABSTRACT
When looking at project management (PM) best practices and its practical daily application, measurement is implicitly recognized as a fundamental process within the management of a project. However, it is often not accounted for and evidenced in a separate way in the organizational historical data. The typical goals for the measurement process are as follows:
To determine which are (and how many should be) the measures driven by the goals of an organization
To monitor them during the project lifetime
To gather data, and verify and validate those measures before their usage for estimating and for the decision-making process
