Most modern knowledge-work companies operate via a shared-resource model.  The productivity of these companies is measured correctly not by the duration of the projects that the companies complete but by the rate at which the companies complete their projects.  So that the improvement in the productivity of your company might be determined quantitatively later, it is useful to begin your deployment of the Fast-Matrix model by measuring the current rate at which your company completes its projects. 
 
We can help you readily, with this measurement.  We need only the end-dates of the projects that your company has completed to date.  With these data we will calculate the mean duration between completion-events and the annual rate of completion.  We'll even give you an Excel worksheet with which you can continue to monitor the completion-rate simply by appending additional end-dates and clicking a button.
 
Of course, your information will remain confidential at all times.
