I need to do more research on earned-value-management. There ought to be no shortage of literature on the subject.

I'm most interested in the use of incentives to improve field buy-in and engagement, which I generally expect to be low for efforts to measure productivity.

Other fixed earning rules such as a 25/75 rule or 20/80 rule are gaining favor, because they assign more weight to finishing work than for starting it, but they also motivate the project team to identify when an element of work is started, which can improve awareness of work-in-progress.¹
