Top 25 Project Management KPIs of 2011-2012

Executive Summary
Given the economic context and the competitive market nowadays, organizations focus increasingly on managing and measuring performance
as a key component in achieving the desired performance results for generating business value. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) represent
a critical element for any performance management strategy in today’s challenging environment and many organizations have diverse
performance management initiatives, including the measurement of results against targets by using KPIs.

To provide a glimpse into the use of KPIs in practice, smartKPIs.com has launched in March 2011 the first edition of a series of reports
dedicated to analyzing the most popular KPIs across major functional areas and industries. The Top KPIs report series, which has reached
the second edition, are a synthesis of what smartKPIs.com is all about: they form an overview of how KPIs are used in practice today, by
combining input from the online community with analysis and insights from our research team.

The Top 25 Project Management KPIs of 2011-2012 report compiles the most popular 25 KPIs used by the Project Management function.
The methodology used to conduct the research consisted of ranking the KPI examples published in the Project Management functional
area of smartKPIs.com, based on their number of views in 2011. The hundreds of thousands of visits to smartKPIs.com and the thousands
of KPIs visited, bookmarked and rated by members of this online community in 2011 provided a rich data set, which combined with further
analysis from the editorial team, formed the basis of these research reports. Out of the more than 50 Project Management KPIs available
on smartKPIs.com, the 25 most viewed by the members and visitors of smartKPIs.com were selected and analysed in detail in this report.

Notes regarding this report:

Project Management KPIs are reflective of Project Management functions, and are grouped into subcategories, such as Project Budget,
Project Assessment, Project Timeline and Project Team Performance. From these subcategories Project Budget, Project Assessment and
Project Timeline were the most popular of Project Management, in 2011. One of the most important benefits that this report brings is
the international perspective it offers on the most popular KPIs for Project Management. Project Management KPIs provide quantifiable
measurements of factors determined to be important for the successful implementation of Project Management strategies. The skill in
applying KPIs is in the selection of the optimum number and appropriateness of KPIs.

While centered around the KPIs that in 2011 received the highest number of visits on smartKPIs.com, the Top KPIs of 2011-2012 reports
contain in addition to KPI names, a detailed description of each KPI, as documented in smartKPIs Premium (the premium content section of
smartKPIs.com) and other relevant content. By discussing the use of KPIs today, presenting the best practice in documenting them and listing
the most popular KPIs of 2011, the Top 25 Project Management KPIs of 2011-2012 report is a valuable resource in promoting the informed
use of KPIs or refreshing the existing performance measurement and management practice in any organization.

About Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)


In many domains of human activity, the use of tools is essential for the achievement of results. Measurement and evaluation make no
exception, being equipped with both conceptual and physical tools. Of the first category, at the core of any performance measurement and
management system are the measures, metrics, indicators or KPIs used.

Both academic and practitioner literature uses interchangeably these terms, oftentimes even within the same organization.

At smartKPIs.com, we have adopted the following definitions for these terms:

Measure - A number or a quantity that records a directly observable value. All measures are composed of a number and a unit of measure.
The number provides magnitude (how much) for the measure, while the unit gives the number a meaning (what). Examples of unit
measures are: dollars, hours, meters, inches, etc.

Indicator - Indicators are defined in many ways, but the common meaning for all of them is that they refer to specific information. Thus, the
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) defines an indicator as “a qualitative or quantitative factor or variable
that provides a simple and reliable means to measure achievement, to reflect changes connected to an intervention, or to help assess the
performance of a development actor”.1

Metric, Performance Measure or Performance Indicator - A generic term encompassing the quantitative basis by which objectives are
established and performance is assessed. It helps quantify the achievement of a result, the quantifiable component of an organization’s
performance. In the context of measuring and managing performance these terms are used interchangeably.

Key Performance Indicator (KPI) - A selected indicator considered key for monitoring the performance of a strategic objective, outcome,
or key result area important to the success of an activity and growth of the organization overall. KPIs make objectives quantifiable,
providing visibility into the performance of individuals, teams, departments and organizations and enabling decision makers to take action
in achieving the desired outcomes. Typically, KPIs are monitored and communicated through dashboards, scorecards and other forms of
performance reports.

While on paper the terms listed above can be differentiated, in practice, the difference between them is blurred and, at some extent,
irrelevant. As long as their purpose and use is clear and understood by members of the organization, whether they are called performance
measures or KPIs is a matter of preference.

At smartKPIs.com, we assess each example entered in the online database and label it as measure, performance indicator or KPI. It is an
empirical and subjective approach to catalogue each entry based on relevance. Ultimately, all entries in the online database are considered
KPI examples. In addition, to single out the entries that stand out in terms of relevance, we introduced a new label:

smartKPI - A Key Performance Indicator example available on smartKPIs.com, that is recommended as


being the most relevant and truly “Key” for organizational performance. They are selected by the editorial
team of the website based on criteria such as:

• Listing in academic and practitioner publications that analyse their usefulness;

• Frequency of use by Functional Area / Industry;

• Fulfillment of the criteria of how good KPIs should be defined and used.

Top 25 Project Management KPIs of 2011-2012

KPIs … Naturally
Measurement as a human activity is not new. It emerged in early history as a mean for discovery and sense making.
Archaeologists consider the first measurement tool used in human history to be the Lebombo bone, a baboon fibula
containing 29 cut notches. Dated 35,000 BC, this tally stick was discovered in the Lebombo mountains in Swaziland.

Evaluation, as a form of measurement was used as early as the 3rd century AD, when emperors of the Wei Dynasty
rated the performance of the official family members. The biased nature of individual performance evaluation was
noticed by Chinese philosopher Sin Yu, who reportedly criticized a rater employed by the Wei Dynasty with the
following words: “The Imperial Rater of Nine Grade seldom rates men according to their merits, but always according
to his likes and dislikes”.

A major milestone in making the connection between measuring as a human activity and performance was in
1494, when Luca Pacioli published in Venice ‘Summa de arithmetica, geometrica, proportioni et proportionalita’ (‘Everything on arithmetic,
geometry, proportions and proportionality’). It detailed a practice the Venetian sailors had in place to evaluate the performance of their sailing
expeditions, which became the basis of the double-entry accounting system.

In time, the subjective nature of individual performance evaluations and the dominance of financial indicators for evaluating enterprise
performance became stepstones for performance management in human activities.

The industrial revolution added to this combination the “organization as a machine” metaphor that played a major role in driving improvements
in efficiencies and effectiveness. The result was an organizational performance management model based on mechanistic, command-and-
control thinking, driven by subjective individual performance assessments and financial indicators and crowned by pay-for-performance
arrangements.

Did it work? To a certain extent, yes. Many organizations flourished and matured based on this model.

Does it have flaws? Many. And while historical circumstances attenuated them in time, today’s environment amplifies and exposes them at
an accelerated rate.

Is there a better way? Yes, but it is not simple. It requires a change at multiple levels, from the underlying philosophy of performance, to
mentalities and processes. This is not easy.

Over time, the use of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) became synonym to performance measurement and management. KPIs are the
link between the old and the new in performance management. Their use, however, is much richer and rewarding in an environment based
on organic performance architecture principles:

Organizations are echo-systems in their own right. They vary in terms of maturity and the environment in which they operate. As such,
their use of performance management systems should reflect their own “personality”. You can try to build an igloo in Sahara, but it won’t be
sustainable. The performance architecture of each organization needs to be unique and to reflect its internal and external environment.

Systems thinking provides a much richer context for understanding and improving performance. Command-and-control worked
in time for the army, for increasing productivity of unskilled workers during the industrial revolution and for managing large organizations
(such as the public service). Today, knowledge workers form the majority of the workforce in developed economies, operate in a much more
interconnected environment and have to make decisions at an accelerated pace. Understanding the systems in which we operate, analyzing
flow and learning based on data become ever more important today and complement the traditional simplistic managerial approach of
executing orders from above.

Top 25 Project Management KPIs of 2011-2012

KPIs should be used primarily for learning. The role of KPIs should be the one of providing the required information to assist in navigating
towards the desired results. The same principle is used by ants, who leave pheromone trails to assist each other in navigating towards the
food source. Similarly, the nerve impulses travel through the different points of the nervous system, transmitting information. KPIs results
should travel through the organization, facilitating communication, providing a base for analysis / synthesis and ultimately decision making
across all levels of the organization.

Data accuracy in human administration is an elusive desideratum. Neils Bohr once said: “Accuracy and clarity of statement are mutually
exclusive”. Accuracy is a challenge in exact sciences and even more in human administration. Striving to obtain any KPI data is a challenge
in itself for many organizations and data accuracy is an even bigger ask. The use of KPIs should acknowledge this aspect and be oriented
towards making the most out of existent data, oftentimes by using variance intervals. This approach is used by the human body. If the
temperature drops under a safe limit, we shiver. If the temperature increases, we sweat. Both are performance improvement initiatives of the
body, aimed to regulate its temperature back to safe limits. The KPI here is the temperature. While it is not a constant, its trend is good when
within certain safe limits.

The use of KPIs for rewards and punishment should be limited and driven by self-assessment. Purposeful oriented behavior is a
characteristic of living organisms. For humans and many other species, this behavior is amplified by rewards and punishment. Along with this
amplification, risks are amplified, too. Gaming of results, lack of cooperation, decreased morale and work accidents are some of the undesired
consequences. On the other hand, the majority of nerve impulses in the human body transmit general information. Only in particular situations
pleasure or pain signals. Similarly, the use of KPIs for rewards and punishment should be the exception to the rule, rather than the norm.

Embedding KPIs in organizations through visualization and communication of KPIs results is the key to maximizing their value
added. Variations in the KPIs used by the human body are felt by our senses as their impact is sensory rich. Similarly, KPIs used in
an organizational context should be embedded in everyday use and be a part of the working experience. The most important aspect of
communicating KPI results is their visual representation. This is key, both in terms of optimizing the layout of the data representation and
the presence of visual displays in the working environment. The range of media is diverse today: posters, whiteboards, banners, LED and
LCD monitors should be combined to bring results to life across the organization. KPI results should not be restricted to paper reports and
computer screens anymore.

New philosophy of performance, driven by self-assessment and purposeful achievement as a mean to happiness. While happiness
means many things to many, a common expression of this feeling is the result of the purposeful achievement of a desideratum. Achieving
something we want, while shared with others, is about us and reverberates strongly in our inner self. Transposing this powerful catalyst of
performance in both our personal and organizational life is facilitated by a new paradigm: Happiness is driven by achievement. Achievement
is an expression of performance. If we want to be in control of our happiness, we should be in control of our performance.

Self-assessment of performance results is not easy. However, if more emphasis is placed on building this capability in each employee,
organizations can benefit by creating a rewarding environment conducive to happiness. In this environment, managers can focus on
understanding and improving the working system, while employees can focus on self-assessment of the results’ achievement, learning and
communicating. Purposeful achievement of results in a well-structured working system would bring both individuals and organization much
closer to happiness and fulfilment compared to the payment of bonuses in the current command-and-control driven dominant paradigm.

KPIs are here to stay. The question we have to answer is how do we want to use them: mechanistically or naturally?

Top 25 Project Management KPIs of 2011-2012

Project Management as a Functional Area


Project Management refers to the planning, organizing and managing of resources to successfully achieve the goals of a project, within a
specific timeframe. A project is a temporary endeavor with a defined beginning and end (usually time-constrained, and often constrained by
funding or deliverables), undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, typically to bring about beneficial change or added value. KPIs refer
to the quality of the implementation processes, as well as the quantitative outputs and outcomes of the project.

Sub-categories
Project Budget - Involves the amount of resources allocated to the project.
Project Assessment - Refers to the reviewing process of the development of projects and their outcomes.
Project Timeline - Relates to use of schedules or charts used to plan and subsequently report project progress.
Project Team Performance - Refers to performance that meets the needs and expectations of company colleagues.

History

The development of the project management practices can be traced back to ancient times. The Great Wall in China or the Egyptian pyramids
are often given as examples of construction projects that required detailed planning and rigorous management. Despite the long history
of project management practices, only during the 1970s could one see the development of project management as a discipline in its own
right, with the development of the first project management methodologies. The rise of project management forced organizations to start
developing structured environments and approaches for project implementation.

Unsuitable A low level of earned man hours indicates that the project has experienced lower than expected
productivity, as actual man-hours were greater than the progress earned man-hours.

Threshold example
Red: <80 Yellow: 80-100 Green: >100

Analysis and resources

Overall notes
Involvement of organizations, especially the construction companies in measuring earned man hours reflects the maturity of project management. Dividing
the earned man-hours by the actual man-hours provides a productivity index that is frequently used in construction projects.

Suitable Targets should be set according to the business, the specific project, client's expectations and
competition level of performance. A low level of this KPI can greatly affect the company's reputation
because unsatisfied clients will not recommend the company's services.

Threshold example
Red: <70% Yellow: 70-80% Green: >80%

Analysis and resources

Overall notes
The project management team should prioritize projects according to their importance. Overdue and high importance projects should be analyzed and solved
first. Steps should be taken to stop projects from becoming overdue.

Targets

Benchmarking fit Notes


Suitable Targets higher than 1 indicate that the project is ahead its planned value, which is very favorable for its
performance. If behind schedule, the SPI is lower than 1, which indicates that the work performed was
less than the work scheduled.
The project manager can use SPI for re-evaluating the current conditions of the project and begin an
analysis of the current project trends and corrective actions. The project manager can also analyze the
goals and the current favorable conditions to possibly reassess the project's short term goals.
Threshold example
Red: <1 Yellow: 1-1.2 Green: >1.2

Analysis and resources

Overall notes
This KPI requires two secondary KPIs for calculation:
1. The budgeted cost of work scheduled (BCWS), which is the portion of the cost that is planned to be spent on a task between the starting date of the task
and the status date. For example, the total planned budget for a 4-day task is $100 and it starts on a Monday. If the status date is set to the following
Wednesday, the BCWS is $75.
2. The budgeted cost of work performed (BCWP), which is the percentage of the budget that should have been spent for a given percentage of work
performed on a task. This is literally the value earned for the work performed. For example, if after 2 days 60% of the work on a task has been completed,
you might expect to have spent 60% of the total task budget, or $60.

Targets

Benchmarking fit Notes


Suitable This KPI gives a more statistic view upon the likelihood of keeping a project in scheduled time and
budget parameters. Therefore, when setting targets, the two key factors to be taken into account are:
time and budget, according to the estimated plan. It is also essential to consider the internal project
management and the execution capacity.

Threshold example
Red: >1.2 Yellow: 1-1.2 Green: <1

Analysis and resources

Overall notes
By using this KPI, a project manager has better control over cost and schedule variance, through earned value management. It supports the controlling stage
of project management, as it generates actions for future improvements.

Targets

Benchmarking fit Notes


Unsuitable Targets should be set according to the internal procedures and standards. In the case of projects with
large budgets, a deviation of +/- (5-10%) can be a large amount of money, so a +/- (3-5%) target is more
appropriate.

Threshold example
Red: <90%; >110% Yellow: 90-95%; 105-110% Green: 95-105%

Analysis and resources

Overall notes
Usually, a project budget is exceeded due to an improper estimation of costs, or to a delay in the finish date which brings additional costs.

Suitable A high schedule variance in positive numbers could indicate that the project management
underestimated the amount of time needed to complete the project or that the budget and workforce
were insufficient. It could also mean that the project management or the workforce suffered setbacks,
foreseen or otherwise, which may or may not have been avoided.

Targets

Benchmarking fit Notes


Unsuitable Targets can vary according to the nature of the project and number of people involved. Conflicts
between project team members are expected to arise more extensively in newly formed project teams,
where members didn't previously work with each other during other projects. This KPI should be
measured along with the rate at which conflicts cross out were resolved.

Threshold example
Red: >5 Yellow: 3-5 Green: <3

Analysis and resources

Overall notes
In some cases, organizations encourage conflicts as a means of giving birth to creative solutions to problems.

Targets

Benchmarking fit Notes


Unsuitable Signals or alarms are recommended to indicate when a task becomes overdue, especially when dealing
with projects having a significant task load.
Targets should be set according to business type, project, client's expectations and competition level of
performance.
A high level of the indicator can greatly affect the company's reputation because unsatisfied clients will
not recommend the company's services.

Threshold example
Red: >30% Yellow: 10-30% Green: <10 %

Analysis and resources

Overall notes
In order for this KPI to be as relevant as possible for the project management team, it should be complemented by task ranking according to their importance.
Overdue high importance tasks should be analyzed and solved first. Steps should be taken to stop tasks from becoming overdue.

Targets

Benchmarking fit Notes


Suitable Targets should be close to the first budget forecast. Otherwise, the project has deviation to budget. This
KPI is used for monitoring purposes rather than planning. Targets can be influenced by any changes
that appear in the initial plan.
The reporting frequency depends on the duration of the project. The estimate at completion, when
updated based on progress to date, is then referred to as a latest revised estimate. Trend analysis is
extremely useful in this context.

Threshold example
Red: >15,000 Yellow: 10,000-15,000 Green: <10,000

Analysis and resources

Overall notes
The estimate at completion can be determined by deriving calculations based on the performance to date, or may be derived by the project leader or team
via using other miscellaneous factors entirely.

As calculation formulas, there are two more that can be used:


1. Adjusting for atypical cost variances: A+B-C, A= $ Actual cost, B= $ Total budget, C= $ Earned value
2. Adjusting for typical and continuing cost variances, A+[(B-C)/D], A= $ Actual cost, B= $ Total budget, C= $ Earned value, D= # Cost performance index

Targets

Benchmarking fit Notes


Suitable Targets should be higher than 1, this indicating that the conditions of cost efficiency for the project are
considered to be favorable. A resulting value that is smaller than 1 indicates that the conditions of cost
efficiency for the project are considered to be less than favorable, as the actual cost is higher than the
budgeted cost of work scheduled.
It can change over the life of a project depending on the ways in which the earned values and actual
cost have changed. A stable CPI is important because it is used as a benchmark to assess the potential
for cost overruns.

Threshold example
Red: <0.7 Yellow: 0.8-1 Green: >1

Analysis and resources

Overall notes
This indicator requires the calculation of two measures:
1. The budgeted cost of work scheduled (BCWS), which is the portion of the cost planned to be spent on a task between the starting date of the task and the
status date. For example, the total planned budget for a 4-day task is $100 and it starts on a Monday. If the status date is set to the following Wednesday, the
BCWS is $75.
2. The actual cost of work performed (ACWP), which is the total actual cost incurred while working on a task during a given period. For example, if the 4-day
task actually incurs a total cost of $35 during each of the first 2 days, the ACWP for this period is $70 (but the BCWS is still $75).

Targets

Benchmarking fit Notes


Suitable Targets higher than 0 indicate that the actual costs are under budget, which can mean a well managed
project. If targets are lower than 0, this can indicate the lack of cost efficiency in project management,
since the actual costs are higher than the earned value.

Threshold example
Red: <0 Yellow: 0-1 Green: >1

Analysis and resources

Overall notes
One way to maintain a favorable cost variance is to minimize the actual costs to the extent possible, due to the fact that this indicator depends directly on the
earned value and the actual cost. This KPI offers an overarching picture of cost performance on a particular project.

Targets

Benchmarking fit Notes


Suitable Targets can vary significantly depending on the project type, project size and its initial scheduled
duration. Usually, a project delay of no more than 5-10% from the initial scheduled duration is
considered as acceptable due to the large number of unforeseen factors that can negatively impact the
execution of a project, especially in particular industries such as construction.

Threshold example
Red: >45 Yellow: 30-45 Green: <30

Analysis and resources

Overall notes
This KPI is recommended for projects with a strict timeframe for delivery, as project delays might severely impact the client - contractor relationships. Good
communication and client contractor relationships are important for the success of any project, so making provisions in a project for events such as weather
delays, resources scarceness reduces disputes.

Targets

Benchmarking fit Notes


Suitable Targets are highly contextual. Organizations should tailor the targets based on project nature, contract
value size, and industry average. Ideally, the results of this KPI should be kept as low as possible, as
third party non-conformity not only causes extra fixing costs, but also, pose compliance risk on related
production and operation.

Threshold example
Red: >5 Yellow: 2-5 Green: <2

Analysis and resources

Overall notes
Inspections on conformity is to ensure effectiveness of quality management. Other tools for quality control include control charts, statistical sampling, trend
analysis, etc.

Recommended Measurement requires well-functional systems to integrate and report data on all projects and their
established completion parameters. Therefore, data accuracy is dependent on the existence and well
management of an Office of Project Management. The indicator does not reflect any of the reasons
which lead to any project schedules delays.

Targets

Benchmarking fit Notes


Suitable Targets can vary according to the industry profile. However, it is desirable to have as many projects
completed on time as possible. The fact that project requirements change many times from a variety of
reasons could affect in many occasions the time schedule.

Threshold example
Red: <50% Yellow: 50-70% Green: >70%

Analysis and resources

Overall notes
By using the variance and assuming the normal distribution, the
analyst can determine the probability for project completion on schedule.

Top 25 Project Management KPIs of 2011-2012

Appendix E: Glossary of Terms


The following list provides an explanation of several popular terms characterizing KPIs:

Rate – A specific type of ratio expressed in many cases as part to whole. Examples of rates are the natality or mortality rate, expressed as the
number of births or deaths per a certain number of population or the currency exchange rate, where the value of one currency is compared
to the value of the other currency.

Ratio – A relation between two measures that might be distinct, but which are part of the same category of elements, such as the ratio of boys
to girls, teachers to students, doctors to patients, revenues to expenditure.

Composition – A composite indicator is formed when individual indicators are compiled into a single index, on the basis of an underlying
model of the multi-dimensional concept that is being measured. It measures multi-dimensional concepts (e.g. competitiveness, e-trade or
environmental quality) which cannot be captured by a single indicator.

Index – A number computed from a specific formula or calculation methodology, used to characterize a complex set of data.

Leading – Drive the performance of the outcome indicators, being predictors of success or failure. Examples of leading indicators are: “%
Employees involved in the innovation process”, “% Conversion rate” or “% Inventory quality ratio (IQR)”.

Lagging – Type of indicators that reflect the success or failure after an event has been consumed. Examples include: “$ Operating profit per
room”, “$ Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)” or “$ Cost avoidance savings”.

Input – Reflects assets and resources invested in or used to generate business results. Examples include: “# Headcount”, “$ Cost per
broadcast hour” and “# Knowledge materials distributed to employees”.

Process – Refers to the efficiency or productivity of a business process. Examples include: “% On time delivery”, “# Conflicts arisen during
the project”, “# Average call handling time” and “# Mean time to repair”.

Output – Measures the financial and nonfinancial deliverables or results of business activities. Examples include: “% Passenger seats sold”,
“# New customers acquired” or “$ Revenue per successful call”.

Outcome – Reflects overall results or impact of the business activity in terms of generated benefits, as a quantification of performance.
Examples include: “% Customer retention”, “% Employee turnover”, “$ Net income after taxes (NIAT)” or “% Brand awareness”.

Qualitative – A descriptive characteristic, an opinion, a property or a trait. The most common ones gauge customer or employee satisfaction
through subjective assessments. Based on a subjective interpretations of a customer’s or employee’s opinions. Oftentimes these type of
indicators are not expressed numerically, but as narrative text. Sometimes a rating is allocated to rank between levels (i.e. Likert scale).

Quantitative – A measurable characteristic, resulted by counting, adding or averaging numbers. Quantitative data is most common in
measurement and therefore forms the backbone of most KPIs. Operational systems that manage inventory, supply chain, purchasing, orders,
accounting, financial systems, all gather quantitative data by means of KPIs. Other examples of quantitative KPIs are “# Employee tenure”,
“# Units per man-hour” or “# Maintenance backlog”.
