ABSTRACT:
Selecting the correct measurements is critical for software project success. Without the appropriate, clear measurements, team members are typically unable to reach a consensus about what is important for achieving software development objectives. They lack insight into project performance and health, limiting their ability to deliver projects on time and within budget.

This white paper explores how to attain clear measurements for greater insight into software project performance and health. Discover the importance of being completely transparent regarding what is being measured and why. Explore how to effectively determine project goals and how measurements relate to project goals. Learn how to establish metrics for achieving the objectives associated with every stage of the development lifecycle.
