Effectively utilizing software metrics is key to succeeding in today’s competitive information technology and software business. Without the right metrics, it’s impossible to set up and follow through projects. Progress metrics are particularly relevant for gaining an insight into projects and at the same time into process improvements. This book explains in practical terms how to establish and run a successful metrics program. Results from many projects and different companies are included.
