● Functional Best Practices
● Case Study – Emerging Health
● Case Study – HSBC
● Open Discussion
● Technical Best Practices
Agenda

3
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

4
• SMART
• Specific
• Meaningful
• Aligned
• Realistic goals
• Time based
What makes a good Metric?

5
• 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
What makes a good Metric?

6
How to Create KPIs?
1. Understand strategic goals of your organization
2. Determine the Key Success Factors in reaching the goals
3. Define Key Performance Indicators that measure the success
factors
4. Determine the Success Factors for these metrics
5. Define Performance Indicators that measure the success
factors
6. Make KPIs, PIs and data available
7. Communicate to all levels

7
What Metrics Do You Use Today?
● Scope
○ # changes / project duration in days (bad req. or bad PM)
○ Customer satisfaction (survey 1-10)
● Schedule
○ % of open tasks with finish date < one week ago (stale)
○ % projects on-time
○ % of tasks completed on time
○ % of tasks completed within baseline duration
○ % of tasks completed within baseline hours
○ % Milestones on time
○ Actual/Estimate - % to estimate
○ Average task duration or effort (good plans)
○ % tasks assigned 3 months out (how well advanced
planning)
○ # of baselines
○ Milestone Burndown
○ Cross Project Dependency Slack
● Budget
○ % projects on-budget
○ % complete vs. % money expended
○ Actual / budgeted ROI
○ Total support costs for x months after solution is
completed
○ Amount of project manager time vs. overall effort hours
– % change in NPV/IRR from gate to gate
– Benefits realized vs. benefits planned
– % projects with current financial forecasts
• Overall Project
– Subjective R/Y/G on projects by the PM (PMs thoughts)
– Duration between steps, phases, stages, etc (diagnose
where issue. This will not solve issues)
– # issues / project duration in days
– How long issues remain open
– % projects with current status reports
– Number of defects discovered after initial acceptance /
development hours
– Counts and amounts for projects in Red/Amber/Green
status
– # issues by severity: opened, closed, on-hold
– % projects failed gate review
– % projects that delayed gate review
• Time (Not Project Related)
– Time not submitted on time
– Ave hours worked by staff
– % internal vs. external resources
– Time to assign WR (response time)
– Time by % Admin, Projects, Maintenance (Doing the right
things)
• Resource Management
– % of resources with “appropriate” allocations 6-9 months
in the future
– % of resources with “appropriate” assignments 0-3 months
in the future
– Forecasted Utilization % by project manager for next 0-3
months
– Actual Utilization % by project manager for last 3 months
– Workloads by resources or manager - # projects they
support

What will be Covered
• PM Dashboard portlet, Sub-Page & Drill Down
• Key Performance Indicators
• Governance

10
Overview & Importance
• PM Dashboard
– Provides PMs and Management with important information
related to project staffing, schedule and level of effort.
– Information drives Executive decisions related to project
portfolios.
– Can be used by the PM as a project maintenance check list.
– Makes it easier for PMs to identify and correct project
schedule and staffing issues.
– Accessible to all users

11

KPI Indicator Colors
A Green icon means the indicator is within the acceptable
range and no action is required at this time.
A Gray icon means the indicator does not apply to the
project in its current state.
A Yellow icon means there is a component of the
project that needs attention.
A Red icon means there is a component of the project
that needs immediate attention.

15
Key Components of Governance
• Establish a governance structure with a Project Committee
including appropriate subgroups
• Define your processes – e.g. start identifying what projects align
with your strategic goals
• Ensure priorities are set by Senior Management and Executives
• Communicate priorities and progress on a regular basis
• Monitor Resource, Budget and Schedule regularly
• Implement effective Governance reporting based on the
processes

Overview Resource/Project Details
} Gaining value from CA PPM depends on effective use of the tool and
increasing end-user adoption. Project and Resource management metrics
are required to baseline and track adoption as part of monitoring and
improving the value of the data on CA PPM
} CA PPM Maturity Model (CMM) was implemented in 2008 in response to an
audit requirement to track CA PPM usage and data
} CA PPM SWAT are looking to materially improved the existing CMM model
to eliminate “box ticking” and implement metrics that will drive sound
resource and project management behavior

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)

28
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)

32
● 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

33
CIO / Senior Executive View

34
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.
