Several years ago, Johanna Rothman wrote a facinating article on how to use the concept of Inch Pebbles as a way to measure the progress of a project. The idea is to define tasks to create the project's deliverables for the project so that they typically last a day or two. You can then track - was the work done or now. There is no 50% done. As a project or resource manager, I would not have to track remaining hours - instead I can track done or not along with any issues that may be blocking completion of the task.

I recently emailed Johanna and she still swears by Inch-Pebbles. It makes a lot of sense. More to follow...
