How do you measure improvements to the way projects are managed and implemented?

I agree determining your key metrics and then creating a sort of service level baseline before you execute is vital. Be careful of surveys; in addition to being qualitative, they are also notoriously ignored. Maybe 5% typically answer, and heavily skew the data. Best to rely as much as you can on any applicable quantitative metrics.

it has to do with the nature of the process, however, you need to study the process. Let refer to the definition of a process. A set of related activities which transforms inputs to outputs. You need consider inputs, outputs and transformation.

The methods of baselines that you are measuring against to be defined clearly and most important your methodologies of quantifying data to be clearly defined. Personally, I do not believe in qualitative measurements alone.

To to assess the quality of a project implementation, we request feedback from stakeholders, which may be the client, customer or internal parties. Quality surveys are conducted electronically, and results are tracked. Issues go through an improvement opportunity process, and successes are recognized and celebrated.

Thank you Gail. Looks like surveys are a common theme in measuring success; I am drafting one for us for next project! I appreciate your feedback.
