Last time, we explored the causes of project failure. This time, we dive into his latest article: “You Manage What You Measure.”
We focus on key insights from PMI’s new research report, Maximizing Project Success, and the introduction of a compelling metric – the Net Project Success Score (NPSS). Andy explains how defining success criteria upfront and implementing strong measurement practices can dramatically boost project outcomes. The research makes it clear that the projects with clarity and metrics simply perform better.
We also explore the often-overlooked challenge of measuring progress during delivery. Whether you’re in a traditional or Agile environment, Andy offers practical strategies to track performance in real-time without falling into analysis paralysis.

We discuss how PMs can be gatekeepers of success criteria, ensure alignment with value delivery and make timely decisions based on well-defined metrics. If you’re serious about leading projects that truly deliver, this conversation is not to be missed.
