Ability to measure the right things is imperative in these modern times. Even successful businesses find that they also need to assess other aspects of their business not just financial performance. This course is designed to equip the participants in designing metrics that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic & time-bound. In this course, participants will be able to prevent misguided metrics; infer what data is needed and how to collect it; use a proven process for designing metrics and evaluate metrics’ effectiveness. This course also covers how to quantify process performance and results in software quality. This course discusses methods and tools to gather, analyse and interpret metrics and measurement software engineering, software testing processes and other related process areas.

1. Identify the reasons for measurement.
2. Determine elements to measure.
3. Define various models in measurement.
4. Align performance measures in objectives
5. Setup a measurement plan in a project.
