In the Project Controls paradigm, Value is a measurable attribute of the project controls process - a Closed Loop Control measure. The units of measures of Cost and Time are straightforward. The Measures of Effectiveness. Measures of Performance. The Technical Performance Measures.

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.

There are cost people, scheduling people, risk people, EVM people, engineers, testers, and others on any program. Technical performance is likewise difficult to integrate with either cost or schedule because its units of measure vary with the subject matter. Because each discipline tends to operate within its own stovepipe.
