This is a serious mistake for any non-trivial project or product that operates in the presence of uncertainty, deadlines, not-t-exceed budgets, and mandatory sets of capabilities that are produced in exchange for money. Progress and Value are measured with the same in Earned Value Management. Technical Performance Measures.

There are several partitions of this information that are common in building the Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB). The PMB is a time phased, budgeted description of the project. In traditional programs, this is an Integrated Master Plan and Integrated Master Schedule, with budgets laid into the Work Packages.

Determination of physical percent complete is rooted in performance measurement, the comparison of actual performance against an integrated baseline plan consisting of integrated cost, schedule, and technical goals. Earned Value Management (EVM) often anchors such a performance measurement system in DoD programs.
