After several years of leading successful systems projects, you are now tasked to assemble a small team to address a design problem with a component of the major weapon system developed by your company and to report your findings and recommendations in two months. This is a classic assignment for a small project … limited duration, small group, and specific task. While you might think this is an opportunity to fall under the radar of the corporate reporting and measurement program, you're missing out if you don't take advantage of the unique opportunity to experience and explore the possibilities available to you through working on a small project and the opportunities for understanding measurement in ways that just aren't possible on larger programs. This paper explores the world of measurement in small projects.
