Well sure, that's obvious. But it doesn't even matter. KPI's are about companies getting sufficiently large that the top level managers want a nice "overview" of "progress". You don't need them in smaller companies, where the staff and projects are all well known and small. Consider the question instead "What is the best way to get a summary of a given projects status and in a fashion that allows the estimates to be predicted to the most accurate degree?" -- silky http://www.programmingbranch.com/
