Introduction

Performance measurement and evaluation are important aspects in anyproject management process.

Performance measurement is the ongoing, regular collection of informationfor monitoring how a project, policy, or strategy is doing. It is a systematicway of mapping the evidence of the progress you are making towards yourexpected results.

Evaluation involves comparison of performance with the objectives of theclient organisation and determining the change if any, to ensure whethersuch changes are in the best interest of project itself.

In this session, you will about performance measurement, productivity,project performance evaluation, types and process of project performanceevaluation, benefits and challenges of performance measurement andevaluation, and controlling the projects.

Performance Measurement

5

HOME NEXTPREVIOUS

Pre-established performance measurement is an ongoing process whichinvolves monitoring and reporting of project progress with respect to

predetermined objectives.

The following are the key characteristics of performance measurement:

It comprises the monitoring and reviewing of project accomplishmentsand progress towards pre-determined goals.

It facilitates us to decide how well the information system, service orresource is operating, compared with some theoretical maximum.

It helps in assessing how a resource or service is performing and, alsoacts as an accountability factor to the stakeholders.

It is an important technique for establishing the "value" of informationservices to the intended customers or funding authorities.

It is a part of the strategic planning process and is used as an importantfeedback mechanism to support decision making in libraries.

Performance Measurement (cont.)

The various performance measures and their roles are:

PerformanceMeasures

Role of Performance Measures

Effectiveness This indicates the degree to which a process output,

i.e., a service or product conforms to the set

requirements.

Efficiency This indicates the degree to which the required serviceor product is produced.

Quality This measures the degree to which a service or

product meets the requirements and expectations of

the user.

Timeliness This measures if the product or service was provided

on time.

Productivity This is calculated by dividing the value added by the

product or service by the value of labour and capital

cost.

Productivity

7

HOME NEXTPREVIOUS

Productivity is the general term everyone uses to describe the balancebetween quantity and quality.

Productivity is calculated by dividing the value added by the product orservice by the value of labour and capital cost. It is the output of a givenquantum of inputs.

By using the coefficient of productivity, we can measure the performance forthe total enterprise or for the individual factors of production.

If the productivity is measured for the total enterprise, it is termed as totalfactor productivity; and when it is measured for each factor, it is termed aspartial factor productivity.

Productivity is always a relative measure and expressed as the ratio of netoutputs to inputs.

Performance coefficient of productivity can be measured in financial as wellas physical terms. It could be the net output by value or physical quantity.

Project Performance Evaluation

8

HOME NEXTPREVIOUS

Performance evaluation is an important tool for the assessment of a system orservice according to the measurements specified.

Evaluation is planned from the beginning of the project, and normally includesthe following steps:

1 It establishes accurately what is to be evaluated and how past outturns

can be measured.

2 It chooses the alternative condition of the world and/or alternative

management decisions as counterfactuals.

3

It evaluates the actual outcome with the target outcome, and with theeffects of the chosen alternative condition of the world.

4 It provides the results and recommendations.

5 Disseminates the results and recommendations.

Types-Project Performance Evaluation

HOME NEXTPREVIOUS

The following are the types of project performance evaluation techniques:

Process evaluation

Outcome evaluation

Impact evaluation

Cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analysis

Process-Project Performance Evaluation

10

HOME NEXTPREVIOUS

Process of project performance evaluation is very useful tool to find out thereasons behind a failure to achieve intended outcomes.

The modifications that need to be made to a project can be determined byfollowing the below steps:

Project identification

Pre-feasibility studies

Executive summary

Detailed project report

Appraisal and evaluation

Benefits of Performance Measurement

HOME NEXTPREVIOUS

The benefits of performance measurement and evaluation are:

Benefits of

Performance

Measurement and Evaluation

Policy and

programme

planning and

development

Results may confirm policy and programme direction or

identify gaps that need to be addressed.

Decision making

about funding

Finding out what works well/not so well can be used to

guide future funding decisions/priorities.

Clarifying goals At the outset, developing a road map clarifies goals,

explains the big picture and ensures that everyoneshares a common focus.

Tracking

progress

Enables monitoring and if required, permits adjustments

to be made along the way.

Challenges of Performance Measurement

12

HOME NEXTPREVIOUS

Several performance measurement and evaluation challenges related toaddressing labour violence may include:

The multi-dimensional nature of violence because of individual family influences

The developing multi cultural misrepresentations leading to communal chaos

Dissimilar operational policy environments and priorities in various jurisdictions

The unexpected and incidental forces of different people from different

background, culture and community settings

The level of investment (either resources or time) requisite to buildcollaborative efforts and build confidence to address such issues

Controlling the Projects

13

HOME NEXTPREVIOUS

Controlling the project is an independent function in project management. Itapplies verification and controlling function throughout the processing of a

project in order to emphasize the defined performance and formal objectives.

The controlling role basically consists of the following four steps:

Establishing tasks/performance standards

Measure actual performance

Compare the actual performance with the target and find the duration

Take appropriate action to see that the /desired result is achieved

Control of major constraints time, cost and qualities

Control systems are required for assessment of cost, time, risk, quality,communication, procurement, and human resources.

A control system controlling time, cost and quality can be shown as:

Integration of all activities

Monitoring reference

Updating plan

Evaluating preference

Take correct time active

Report feedback and feed forward
