You answer is inside the project management term definition. As you know, if you follow the PMI´s definition, is "the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements". So, you are talking about to meassure people (project manager) performance. Key here is to determine the "project requirements" for each project you are running inside your organization. And pay careful attention between the hugh difference that exists between product requirements and project requirements. You, as project manager, are in charge of project requirements.

"This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy."

- Douglas Adams
