Some best practice appear in multiple sections. Based upon the scenario, they are utilized to assess a project or organization in numerous stages involved in its lifecycle and processes.
Agile
AGILE best practice creates an analysis of earned values, feedback, and key performance indicators. The solution generates an assessment that project team members take weekly to receive accurate feedback which will result in reduced time spent on project and time spent on analyzing risks. AGILE allows for project change to be accounted and how that change will ultimately affect the status of a project. Every project may face a change in business needs, technologies, required documentation or rapid prototyping. AGILE accepts these changes and assesses ways to act upon these conflicts.

Early Warning Signs
Early Warning Signs (EWS) assists project managers by providing timely, objective, action-compelling information 24/7 as it is extremely critical at all stages of project development. By institutionalizing early warning signs, organizations can save considerable sums of money simply by identifying failed projects while they are still in the early stages of development. Our research is based upon Dr. Leon Kappelman’s extensive research into failed projects and contains a set of specific measures that have been identified by 138 project management experts.

SuperMeasures
SuperMeasures calculates project measurements and alerts management of any warning signs that may be indicating possible project failure. The SuperMeasures consist of the four key performance indicators S.M.A.R.T, P.A.L, P.R.P.L, and S.M.P.L and are used to create a Project Health Index to better monitor and compare the health of an individual project to others. A Project Health Index, or PHI also allows executives to quickly scan their projects and identify which projects are meeting expectations and which require more attention. Our research is based upon Leon Kappelman’s “Early Warning Signs of IT Project Failure: The Dominant Dozen,” along with some modifications based upon AMI’s personal experiences.
