Oct 11, 2017 at 20:34 comment added Todd A. Jacobs♦ To the community at large: I like this question, but think it's inherently too much of an opinion-generating question because there isn't a canonical answer. Can the question be improved to avoid polling? I'm reluctant to vote on it directly because my votes are binding; however, I think the question needs editing to avoid closure as being too broad or too opinion-based.
Oct 11, 2017 at 20:32 comment added Todd A. Jacobs♦ While there are some commonly-used metrics (which vary by methodology) there really isn't a "one size fits all" core other than whether a project is within tolerances or not. And of course, tolerances (and how you measure them) will vary from use case to use case and project to project. There's no "Unifying Theory of Project Management," although you can always quote whatever the PMBOK says if you want to argue from authority. :)
