Implementing Metrics Program

Overview

We need software measurements to know where we are, to help decide where we want to be and to track progress. Measurement is integral to the management of organizations, projects, process and products. “What cannot be measured cannot be managed” and “ What cannot be managed cannot be improved”. While it is important to measure, it is equally, and perhaps more important, to know some relevant measures. There are too many measures that can be taken for a software project, however, the challenge lies in identifying measures and establishing a measurement program that serves the business objectives. The workshop provides a complete insight into setting up and managing measurement systems towards quantitatively managing a project’s processes and product’s quality, thus meeting business goals and objectives of organizations.

Workshop Benefits
The workshop provides a conceptual and practical framework for designing and implementing a Software Metrics program. Participants will be able to understand the usage of Metrics in identifying and solving problems, leading to a more effective management of software projects and products. The workshop also covers concepts of Metrics in SW CMM and CMMI implementation.
