What are the step ? begin by defining a limited
set of process , project , and product measure
that ate easy to collect. these measures are

performed within the organization. Trends are
assessed and conclusions are generated.
What is the work product? A set of software
metrics that provide insight into the process and
understanding of the project
How do i ensure that I've done it right ? By
applying a consistent, yet simple measurement
scheme that is never to be used to assess,
reward, or punish individual performance.
