establish whether a project has met its objectives. The optimal time to outline such
metrics is at the very outset of the project.
There is a problem with delineating the metrics at the beginning. That problem is that in a
heuristically run project that many of the metrics cannot be definitively established.
Nevertheless, outlining the metrics at the very least gives the project a sense of focus.
The metrics can be described in very broad terms. There is no need to have the metrics
defined to a very low level of definition.
Fig. 9.3.11 shows that metrics define when a project has been successful or less than
successful.
