Don't Get Blindsided by Your Progress Indicators

by Bradford Clark, Betsy Clark

In our years of consulting experience, the most common measurement need we have seen at all management levels is for accurate progress indicators with the ability to forecast completion and foresee problems before schedule is affected. Often the first sign that progress is not what it seems to be is a "green" status indicator that goes "red" overnight. For the executive trying to understand the true status of a critical project, this is a frustrating and unpleasant situation. It is also a great opportunity to implement an effective progress measure to avoid being blindsided in the future.
