Measurement within the CMMI n 211
Verification (VER)
Validation (VAL)
Additionally, the CMMI states or implies the need for measures in Generic Practice
2.8 Monitor and Control the process area, Generic Practice 2.10 Review Status
with Higher-Level Management, Generic Practice 3.2 Collect Improvement Information,
and the Project Planning, Project Monitoring and Control, Organizational
Process Performance, and Quantitative Project Performance PAs. Table 16.1 shows
some example measures that can be used to monitor development.
Measuring the development process (i.e., the Engineering PAs), can lead to better
products. The Engineering PAs appeal most to the techies in your organization.
Generally, techies do not care about measuring their results. They care about coding
and testing and producing software, learning the latest technology and the latest
upgrades to packages, and trying out all of this stuff in their programs.
