Why do we utilize metrics?
● Align behaviors with organizational strategy
● What gets measured gets done
● Enables self-service performance management
● Benchmarking – Internal and External
● Manage based on data not gut feel

• Balanced – Do not want to drive the wrong behavior
• Drill Down – Need to be able to answer why
• Automated – consistency, availability, accuracy
• Incentives – rewards drive behavior
• Positive Focus – Highlight good behavior not bad
• Assign Ownership – Monitor, report improve
• Leading vs Lagging – measure things that can be
changed

Rego Adoption Metrics
• We will have a set of metrics defined for projects, and a set of
defined for resources.
• Each metric will have a set criteria for levels 0-5 maturity, so that
for each metric that item (i.e. project) will be given a maturity
level from 0-5.
• Project Metrics will apply only to active projects
• Resource Metrics will only apply only to active users (exclude
locked resources)

Rego Adoption Metrics
Metric Focus Metric Description
Project Project Allocation Adoption
Metric
This adoption metric indicates if the project manager is keeping the project staff allocations in line with the
effort that is being booked to the project through time entry. This metric looks at the prior three months and
determines how close the allocations match the actuals. The closer the match, the higher the score.
Resource Resource Allocation
Adoption Metric
This adoption metric indicates if the Resource Manager is keeping their staff’s allocations current. The metric
scores increase as the allocations of the full resource capacity are within a reasonable range for longer future
periods of time. Highest scoring goes to resources that have allocations close to 100% for the next 120 days.
Resource Resource Data Quality
Metric
This adoption metric indicates if the Resource Manager is keeping specific fields in their resource’s data
populated and demonstrates active management of the resource attributes by the Resource Manager role
Resource Resource Timesheet Entry
Metric
This adoption metric indicates if the Time-entry Resource is entering their time on a timely basis. The metric
looks back 4 weeks and determines how many timesheets were entered and how many are missing. The
Highest scoring goes to timesheets submitted on time and with total hours greater than 10.
Resource Resource Commitment
Metric
This adoption metric compares the resource Soft Booked and Hard Booked allocations within a 4 week view.
Hard Booked allocation hours receive a higher range score while Soft Booked allocations are a lower score.
Project Project Baseline Adoption
Metric
This adoption metric indicates the level of adoption in using baselines. The metric indicates if any baseline
exists against the project. Scoring the metric on a project is either a zero (no baseline) or a 5 (has a baseline).
Project Project Status Reporting
Adoption Metric
This adoption metric indicates if the project manager is creating and publishing a project status on a bi-
weekly basis. The metric looks back over a 6 week period and increases the score based on increasing
numbers of published status reports.
Project Project Risk Management
Adoption Metric
This adoption metric indicates if the project manager is managing risks against the project within CA PPM.
The score indicates whether the risks are being used at all and increases the score value based on the
completeness of the Risk data and for the higher scores the active management of risk resolutions.
Project Project Scheduling
Adoption Metric
This adoption metric indicates if the project manager is managing more than summary time entry tasks
within CA PPM. Scores increased based on having 3 tasks or more and having the tasks closed when they
were scheduled to be complete. Highest scores on the metric require active management of 10 or more tasks.

● If the metrics you are looking for do not exist –
○ Make sure the requirements for the Metric are well defined
○ Architect the Metrics with keeping potential
OBS/Department/Resources changes in perspective (e.g. Re-Org)
○ Capture positive metrics
● Development approach
○ Automate data collection overnight. Real time metrics may be overkill.
○ Collect Data within CA PPM
○ Capture Actuals as well as Baseline (or Budget) value for comparison
○ Capture the values at different levels of organization
(OBS/Departments/Roles)

● Reporting
○ Should be in visual format (CA PPM Dashboards /Webi/Crystal or
Xcelsius Dashboards, not data extracts).
○ Dashboards should tell a story and highlight issues. Use 5 minute rule.
○ Show Trends
○ Drill down capability to show the details

You know you have a metric malfunction if you hear:
● I didn’t know this was being measured.
● We measure this because the boss says so.
● I have no idea how I can affect this measure.
● I have no idea what this number means.
● I do not worry about that metric I measure my own.
