Performance Measurement
Performance measurement is the linch pin of project control. Without it, a project can veer off course with no one the wiser. However, with a good measurement system, deviations from the project plan can be quickly detected, allowing for timely correction.

At Crux, we value real-time project metrics that are easy to collect, and quick to display. In some cases, this may just be a chart of project deliverables and their status. For larger deliverables, it might involve measurement of a metric against a planned output. The goal is to detect problems before they grow, and keep the project train firmly on the track.
