A metrics framework for software projects

Abstract
Practical
Software Measurements (PSM) is a process and framework for producing a
measurement plan for software projects. It was developed with guidance
from the US DoD Joint Logistics Command, which sponsors the support
center. It is in use by many organizationsdoing both DoD and commercial
software. The process enables the project to select measurements from
the needs of the project team, the capability of the organization and
the needs of the project. The presentation will introduce the
framework, its application to typical projects and the support
available for users.
