RE: Measurable objectives?

How do you measure #1?  The concept is excellent, but it isn't really
measurable by bean counters or HR types.

I had written:

1. Maintain pro-active control of writing projects with detailed schedules,
milestones, and early identification of key variables affecting
deliverables.

Of course it's measurable -- it's done (100%) or not done (0%), or it was
attempted 100% of the time and it was successful 50% of the time.  I do
admit that an all-or-nothing measurement can be risky in an organization
where "management by objective" is The Big Deal.
