Earned Value Analysis is a common way to measure project progress and healthiness. The numbers can easily be aggregated and used to get also an overview status of a portfolio. However, calculating EV requires big planning upfront, which does not seem suitable for agile or lean startup projects. Moreover, I've seen that less experienced project managers/scrum masters/business analysis having problems calculating EVA properly and quickly.

Which KPIs do you use for reporting to a the PMO? Some KPI that can be calculated easily? That will be available from the first day in a lean startup?

Hi Mirko,

You can consider, may not be from day 1. But, you can think about it.
Technical Debt incurred in the sprint.
Sprint Goals - if it has achieved sprint goals.
Self assessment metrics - ask people on various parameters, like values, customer, business values, etc. at the end of every iteration.
Value Point Delivered - Each story should have a value point. Mechanism of giving value points by business or project management. finished stories which have high value points.
Defects in story points - should be near 0. amount of work added because of defects.

@Sergio @Kiron: Thank you for pointing out that EVM/ESV still make sense in agile projects. I've found the following article on PMI how to map burndown charts to EV: https://www.pmi.org/learning/library/earne...tand-agile-6567
