Advances in science have been made through the practice of the scientific method; that is, through the proposition of theory followed by experimental testing to either, support and validate the proposition, or refute it. The common denominator in this process is the use of measures. This presentation discusses specific advances in measures and practice, making comparisons between science, Earned Value Management, and Earned Schedule. It is shown that measures intended and used for project control can lead to organizational improvement, improving both product quality and process efficiency. The objective of the presentation is to inspire attendees to initiate an improvement in their own project group or company.
