Evaluating Project Performance Metrics

I’ve noticed that many GenAI application projects put in automated evaluations (evals) of the system’s output probably later — and rely on humans to manually examine and judge outputs longer — than they should. This is because building evals is viewed as a massive investment (say, creating 100 or 1,000 examples, and designing and validating metrics) and there’s never a convenient moment to put in that up-front cost. Instead, I encourage teams to think of building evals as an iterative process. It’s okay to start with a quick-and-dirty implementation (say, 5 examples with unoptimized metrics) and then iterate and improve over time. This allows you to gradually shift the burden of evaluations away from humans and toward automated evals. I wrote previously in The Batch about the importance and difficulty of creating evals. Say you’re building a customer-service chatbot that responds to users in free text. There’s no single right answer, so many teams end up having humans pore over dozens of example outputs with every update to judge if it improved the system. While techniques like LLM-as-judge are helpful, the details of getting this to work well (such as what prompt to use, what context to give the judge, and so on) are finicky to get right. All this contributes to the impression that building evals requires a large up-front investment, and thus on any given day, a team can make more progress by relying on human judges than figuring out how to build automated evals. I encourage you to approach building evals differently. It’s okay to build quick evals that are only partial, incomplete, and noisy measures of the system’s performance, and to iteratively improve them. They can be a complement to, rather than replacement for, manual evaluations. Over time, you can gradually tune the evaluation methodology to close the gap between the evals’ output and human judgments. For example: - It’s okay to start with very few examples in the eval set, say 5, and gradually add to them over time — or subtract them if you find that some examples are too easy or too hard, and not useful for distinguishing between the performance of different versions of your system. - It’s okay to start with evals that measure only a subset of the dimensions of performance you care about, or measure narrow cues that you believe are correlated with, but don’t fully capture, system performance. For example if, at a certain moment in the conversation, your customer-support agent is supposed to (i) call an API to issue a refund and (ii) generate an appropriate message to the user, you might start off measuring only whether or not it calls the API correctly and not worry about the message. Or if, at a certain moment, your chatbot should recommend a specific product, a basic eval could measure whether or not the chatbot mentions that product without worrying about what it says about it.

"Why does our top performer get the worst reviews?" the VP asked me. I was reviewing their annual performance data. "Show me," I said. She pulled up the ratings. Diana: 2.8 out of 5. Below average on "collaboration." Low marks for "team player." "What's her actual performance?" I asked. "Exceeded every target. Landed our biggest client. Trained three new hires." "So why the low scores?" "Her peer reviews are dragging her down." I scanned the comments. "Too direct." "Challenges ideas too much." "Not supportive enough." "Let me talk to Diana," I said. "I used to give honest feedback," Diana told me. "Said our pricing model was broken. Got dinged for 'negativity.'" "What happened with the pricing?" "They finally fixed it six months later. After we lost two major accounts." "What else?" "I questioned why we needed  eleven approvals for a simple contract change. Manager said I wasn't being collaborative." "Are you still giving feedback?" "No. I learned my lesson. Now I smile. Nod. Say everything's great. My reviews are improving." "But nothing's actually improving?" "We're making the same mistakes. Just with better vibes." She chuckled. I went back to the VP. "Your review system doesn't measure performance," I said. "It measures compliance." "That's not true." "When was the last time someone got promoted for challenging bad ideas?" Silence. "When did someone get rewarded for preventing a mistake?" More silence. "You've trained your best people to stay quiet. And your mediocre people to stay nice." A few months later, they redesigned the system. Added a category: "Constructive Challenge." Points for identifying problems early. Rewards for preventing costly mistakes. Diana got promoted. "What changed?" I asked the VP. "We stopped confusing agreement with alignment. Stopped mistaking silence for harmony." "And?" "Turns out our 'difficult' people were our most valuable. They actually cared enough to speak up." Here's the truth about performance reviews: Most companies don't reward performance. They reward performance theater. The person who says the meeting was great beats the person who says it wasted an hour. The person who agrees with bad ideas beats the person who prevents disasters. You think you're measuring contribution. You're measuring conformity. And your best people? They've already figured out the game. They're just deciding whether to play it or find somewhere that values truth over comfort. _____ Like my content? Give me a follow. Want to see more of it? Click the 🔔 on my profile.

Over the last year, I’ve seen many people fall into the same trap: They launch an AI-powered agent (chatbot, assistant, support tool, etc.)… But only track surface-level KPIs — like response time or number of users. That’s not enough. To create AI systems that actually deliver value, we need 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰, 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻-𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘀 that reflect: • User trust • Task success • Business impact • Experience quality    This infographic highlights 15 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 dimensions to consider: ↳ 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆 — Are your AI answers actually useful and correct? ↳ 𝗧𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 — Can the agent complete full workflows, not just answer trivia? ↳ 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 — Response speed still matters, especially in production. ↳ 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 — How often are users returning or interacting meaningfully? ↳ 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 — Did the user achieve their goal? This is your north star. ↳ 𝗘𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 — Irrelevant or wrong responses? That’s friction. ↳ 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 — Longer isn’t always better — it depends on the goal. ↳ 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 — Are users coming back 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 the first experience? ↳ 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 — Especially critical at scale.

Evaluations —or “Evals”— are the backbone for creating production-ready GenAI applications. Over the past year, we’ve built LLM-powered solutions for our customers and connected with AI leaders, uncovering a common struggle: the lack of clear, pluggable evaluation frameworks. If you’ve ever been stuck wondering how to evaluate your LLM effectively, today's post is for you. Here’s what I’ve learned about creating impactful Evals: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗹? - Clarity and Focus: Prioritize a few interpretable metrics that align closely with your application’s most important outcomes. - Efficiency: Opt for automated, fast-to-compute metrics to streamline iterative testing. - Representation Matters: Use datasets that reflect real-world diversity to ensure reliability and scalability. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘀: 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗕𝗟𝗘𝗨 𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗟𝗠-𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘀 Traditional metrics like BLEU and ROUGE paved the way but often miss nuances like tone or semantics. LLM-assisted Evals (e.g., GPTScore, LLM-Eval) now leverage AI to evaluate itself, achieving up to 80% agreement with human judgments. Combining machine feedback with human evaluators provides a balanced and effective assessment framework. 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲: 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 - Create a Golden Test Set: Use tools like Langchain or RAGAS to simulate real-world conditions. - Grade Effectively: Leverage libraries like TruLens or Llama-Index for hybrid LLM+human feedback. - Iterate and Optimize: Continuously refine metrics and evaluation flows to align with customer needs. If you’re working on LLM-powered applications, building high-quality Evals is one of the most impactful investments you can make. It’s not just about metrics — it’s about ensuring your app resonates with real-world users and delivers measurable value.

Here are some realistic KPIs that project managers can actually track : 1. Schedule Management 🔹 Average Delay Per Milestone – Instead of just tracking whether a project is on time or not, measure how many days/weeks each milestone is getting delayed. 🔹 Number of Change Requests Affecting the Schedule – Count how many changes impacted the original timeline. If the number is high, the planning phase needs improvement. 🔹 Planned vs. Actual Work Hours – Compare how many hours were planned per task vs. actual hours logged. 2. Cost Management 🔹 Budget Creep Per Phase – Instead of just tracking overall budget variance, break it down per phase to catch overruns early. 🔹 Cost to Complete Remaining Work – Forecast how much more is needed to finish the project, based on real-time spending trends. 🔹 % of Work Completed vs. % of Budget Spent – If 50% of the budget is spent but only 30% of work is completed, there's a financial risk. 3. Quality & Delivery 🔹 Number of Rework Cycles – How many times did a deliverable go back for corrections? High numbers indicate poor initial quality. 🔹 Number of Late Defect Reports – If defects are found late in the project (e.g., during UAT instead of development), it increases risk. 🔹 First Pass Acceptance Rate – Measures how often stakeholders approve deliverables on the first submission. 4. Resource & Team Management 🔹 Average Workload per Team Member – Tracks who is overloaded vs. underloaded to ensure fair distribution. 🔹 Unplanned Leaves Per Month – A rise in unplanned leaves might indicate burnout or dissatisfaction. 🔹 Number of Internal Conflicts Logged – Measures how often team members escalate conflicts affecting productivity. 5. Risk & Issue Management 🔹 % of Risks That Turned into Actual Issues – Helps evaluate how well risks are being identified and mitigated. 🔹 Resolution Time for High-Priority Issues – Tracks how quickly critical issues get fixed. 🔹 Escalation Rate to Senior Management – If too many issues are getting escalated, it means the PM or team lacks decision-making authority. 6. Stakeholder & Client Satisfaction 🔹 Number of Unanswered Client Queries – If clients are waiting too long for responses, it could lead to dissatisfaction. 🔹 Client Revisions Per Deliverable – High revision cycles mean expectations were not aligned from the start. 🔹 Frequency of Executive Status Updates – If stakeholders are always asking for updates, the communication process might be weak. 7. Agile Scrum-Specific KPIs 🔹 Story Points Completed vs. Committed – If a team commits to 50 points per sprint but completes only 30, they are overestimating capacity. 🔹 Sprint Goal Success Rate – Tracks how many sprints successfully met their goal without major spillovers. 🔹 Number of Bugs Found in Production – Helps measure the effectiveness of testing. PS: Forget CPI and SPI - I just check time, budget, and happiness. Simple and effective! 😊

Evaluating LLMs is not like testing traditional software. Traditional systems are deterministic → pass/fail. LLMs are probabilistic → same input, different outputs, shifting behaviors over time. That makes model selection and monitoring one of the hardest engineering problems today. This is where Eval Protocol (EP) developed by Fireworks AI is so powerful. It’s an open-source framework for building an internal model leaderboard, where you can define, run, and track evals that actually reflect your business needs. → Simulated Users – generate synthetic but realistic user interactions to stress-test models under lifelike conditions. → evaluation_test – pytest-compatible evals (pointwise, groupwise, all) so you can treat model behavior like unit tests in CI/CD. → MCP Extensions – evaluate agents that use tools, multi-step reasoning, or multi-turn dialogue via Model Context Protocol. → UI Review – a dashboard to visualize eval results, compare across models, and catch regressions before they ship. Instead of relying on generic benchmarks, EP lets you encode your own success criteria and continuously measure models against them. If you’re serious about scaling LLMs in production, this is worth a look: evalprotocol.io

Most data projects don’t fail because of bad tools. They fail because of bad sequencing. In 2026, building a data project from scratch is less about SQL and more about architectural judgment.

Your CFO wants to know the return on your software development budget? Here are 5 metrics that actually matter in the boardroom - and they're not story points. As a CTO, I've found these key metrics create a meaningful fitness function for your development organization: 1. Business Value per Feature: Don't just ship features - measure their impact. That new checkout process? Track how it changes conversion rates and order values. 2. Lead Time from Idea to Impact: Understand your value stream. Sometimes a 30-minute deployment is stuck behind weeks of stakeholder meetings. 3. Throughput and its composition: Monitor the balance between new features, maintenance, and bug fixes. When maintenance exceeds 25%, it's time to invest. 4. Quality Signals: Track customer experience, operational efficiency, and technical health. These are your early warning system. 5. Team Health: Happy teams deliver better results. Regular pulse checks predict delivery performance weeks before metrics show issues. But never compare teams through these metrics. Each team operates in a unique context with different challenges. Instead, help each team understand and improve their own trends. Metrics should drive improvement, not punishment. Use them as a compass, not a hammer. What metrics do you use to measure development success?

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐝? 📅 This is a common question I face in my projects. We often rely on the S-curve and 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 (EVM) to assess project health, comparing 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 (EV) to 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 (PV). However, EVM, primarily a cost analysis method, can be misleading when evaluating schedule performance. Let's illustrate this with a simple example: a four-week project with a £34,000 budget. After two weeks, our Earned Value is £18,200 (54% of planned progress), and our Planned Value is £18,000 (52% of scheduled progress). The 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐞 𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 (SV) is a positive £200, and the 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐱 (SPI) is 1.01. Based solely on EVM, the project appears "ahead of schedule". Using 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐞 (ES) analysis, the results still concludes that the project is ahead of schedule. However, these metrics doesn't fully capture the project's time-related realities. Examining the as-built schedule (See Section B in Gantt Chart), we see the project team focused on Activity 1 instead of Activity 2, a critical path activity. Activity 1 had a higher budget than Activity 2, highlighting a common issue: project teams sometimes prioritise higher-budget tasks without considering their criticality within the overall schedule. This prioritisation, while potentially justifiable from a cost perspective, can lead to significant schedule delays. To accurately determine the project's delay, we must analyse the 𝐚𝐬-𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐞. In this instance, the project is delayed by four days due to the shift in focus from critical path activities. In conclusion, while EVM provides valuable cost insights, it's crucial to supplement it with a detailed 𝐚𝐬-𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐞 analysis to accurately assess schedule performance. Relying solely on EVM can mask significant schedule delays, leading to inaccurate project status reporting and potentially impacting project success. A comprehensive approach that considers both cost and schedule is essential for effective project management. #ProjectManagement #EVM #ScheduleAnalysis #CriticalPath
