List some of the key KPI’s that you would use to monitor the progress of a project. Briefly explain each KPI.

1- Project Plans (project management plan plus scope, cost, quality, ... plans)

2- EVM - Earned Value Management, which control each of: Scope, Cost, and Schedule.

3- Customer Satisfaction

4- Quality Metrics, according to the application area we have different standards

5- Technical performance measures.

Time schedule adherence - Ability to deliver the deliverables on time . You can have the target depending upon the management decision of having the clients deadline as target , but its more advsiable to have a internal schedule which is ahead of clients promised delivery schedule, This way you can ensure some contingency is available

Productivity - Amount of time taken to complete the task / activity deliverable against standard set benchmarks , This way you can keep track of tasks that are consistently out of target and also ensure you would have a proper benchmark system in place to measure your tasks / activity / deliverable. 

Worked hours on a project - This is close to the productivity , here its at higher level . You can measure the amount of hours worked by specific business unit on a project. You can also measure the amount of hours saved against the budgetted hours.

These are few basic KPI's , which can help with the progress of the project , If you are interested in more scope than project progress, You can look at Financial parameters , Customer satisfaction paratmeters and parameters related to HR attributes . 

AGREED WITH MR.SOCRATES========= BEST PRESENTATION.

Well, I have a baseline plan for Schedule, Cost, and Scope Management. During project execution, I update the project plans with progress data and I create projections (date of completion, quality at completion (based on historical data), cost at completion) and I compare this against baseline. Variations of above the limits of +/-10% I view as an Issue and take necessary steps to bring the project back on track...
