In most of the software development, this notion is missing - hence the quote that What is divided from How. This physical percent complete is measured as compliance with the Technical Performance Measures of the outcomes of the work efforts, that consume the budget for that work.

It lists the usual suspects for why those spending the money think they don't have to estimate how much they plan to spend when they'll be done producing the value they've been assigned to produce for that expenditure. Thus, the common approach to "measure productivity" is to compare the estimates against what, in fact, happened.

Other uncertainties that create risk include: Unrealistic performance expectation with missing Measures of Effectiveness and Measures of Performance. Inadequate assessment of risks and unmitigated exposure to these risks with proper handling plans. The Cone is NOT the result of the project's past performance.

In this case, the projected base weight is planned and the planned weights of each of the major subsystems are laid out as a function of time. At that point it's Too Late, the Horse has left.
