Explaining why the objectives are appropriate for the project
The objectives are appropriate for the project because it will
guide all the project activities. The objectives will also ensure
optimal use of resources allocated for the project. It will also
act as a benchmark to measure whether the all the deliverables
have been met. These are also appropriate for the project in that
it will be used to monitor the schedule of the project to ensure
that the project runs as scheduled hence avoiding situations of
having to extend the schedule of the project due to delays.
Developing two metrics to evaluate achievement of each of the
project objectives
There are two metrics that will be used to evaluate achievement
of each of the project objectives. They include value of
deliverables/output and satisfaction of the project stakeholders.
These are appropriate metrics for each of the objectives. The
final outcome of the project is supposed to meet the initial aims
of the project as outlined in the scope of the project (Lock,
2017; Rose, 2013). The project’s objectives will be considered
to have been achieved if the value of the output is high. On the
other hand, if the value of the deliverables is low then it means
that the some of the objectives of the project have not been met.
The second metric that will be used to evaluate the achievement
of the project objectives is the stakeholder satisfaction. If the
project stakeholders are interviewed and they state that they are
satisfied with the deliverables of the project, then that particular
project will be deemed to have achieved its objectives (Mir &
Pinnington, 2014). On the other hand, if the stakeholders are
unsatisfied with the outcome of the project, then it means that
some of the objectives were not achieved. These metrics are

3. therefore important in that they are used to measure extent to
which project objectives have been met. These metrics are also
appropriate in that they guide the manner in which project tasks
are to be executed (Raymond & Bergeron, 2008).
