Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Project performance metrics may include:

financial measures: actual versus planned budget actual versus planned return on investment (RoI) projections earned value (EV) and EV performance indexes quality measures: number of defects stakeholder satisfaction feedback scope measures: actual versus expected number of change requests amount of rework requirements or user story backlogs time measures: actual versus expected burn-down rates planned versus actual schedule.
