Purpose
The software Measurement Plan specifies what primitive metrics should be
collected and what metrics should be computed during the project to monitor
progress, relative to a set of specified project goals (see
Concepts:
Metrics
).
Timing
The Measurement Plan is done once per development cycle, in the Inception
phase, as part of the general planning activity, or sometimes as part of the
configuration of the process in the Development Case. The Measurement Plan may
be revisited like any other section of the Software Development Plan during
the course of the project.
Responsibility
The
Project Manager
is
responsible for the integrity of the Measurement Plan, ensuring that:
-
the goals are relevant to the project.
-
the primitive metrics can all be collected at minimal overhead and, if
possible, using tools.
The Measurement Plan is a part of the more general
Artifact:
Software Development Plan
.
Tailoring
The Measurement Plan may physically be part of the Software Development Plan
if the metrics program is a simple one.
