While the phrase “quiet quitting” might have been popularized recently, the behavior has been with us for a long time. For those of us who are Seinfeld fans, you’ll remember the many creative ways in which George Costanza would do either no work or the absolute bare minimum to avoid getting fired.

Every project, regardless of the industry, uses a methodology to estimate time and cost to better plan projects. In the life sciences, engineering and construction industries, the method often used is called parametric estimating. When dealing with a project that has many variables and stages, such as construction, it can be difficult to get an accurate estimation of how long the project will take and what sort of financial investment is required to deliver success.

Projects are planned and then life happens. Ideally, project managers know better than to execute their project plans without a performance measurement baseline. They need to know immediately if their team is on track or falling behind. Without that knowledge, the project is running blindly, and anyone who’s tried this knows the dangers.
