Research Internet and document 10 metrics (such as Find/Fix ratio, # Defects in specifications, # problems reported in Code/Unit test etc) to monitor the progress of the project. State the units for each metric, such as dollars per hour, rejects per day, schedule slippage per task in days, budgeted versus actual cost expenditure per task,etc. One character in a group I once had expressed the progress of laying a cable in "furlongs per fortnight."
