In the last decade, we have realized that we cannot plan all up front in a linear process to develop software. We are solving complex problems, which require us to use an empirical process, lean UX practices, and a supporting technology platform that allows us to build, measure, learn and apply the learning in a repeatable fashion.

Measuring and monitoring project management metrics fills this gap. Whatever else you might measure, it is crucial that you measure these three metrics at least.
