Furthermore, effectiveness is closely linked to innovation. In particular, the ability to produce more with fewer resources leads to an increase in output and revenue while keeping costs under control. Therefore, focusing on effectiveness will attract new clients, build a loyal customer base, and foster brand loyalty.

Rarely the case in software development, where Little's Law is misused often. The OP claimed Goodhart's Law was the source of most of the problems with software development. Is this macroeconomic model a correct operational model for software development processes - measuring changes the target ?

We need to know the Upper Control Limits (UCL) and Lower Control Limit (LCL) of the ranges of all the variables that will impact the success of our project. With this paradigm we have logically connected project management processes with Control System processesIf the variances, created by uncertainty going outside the UCL and LCL.

Traditional project management approaches, several of which are based on a strong belief in the cone of uncertainty, advocate stronger project control and greater planning. While controls and planning are useful, an overly strict focus can result in attempts to solve the wrong goal. And from his project's data that may well be true.

In the project domain, an estimate is a calculated approximation of some desired measurement. This is usually a cost, a completion date, a performance measure used in a closed loop control system to keep the project GREEN while delivering the needed Capabilities to produce the Value for the customer at the needed time for the needed cost.
