Improving Software Development Management through Software Project Telemetry
Philip M. Johnson, Hongbing Kou, M. Paulding, Qin Zhang, Akio Kagawa, Tomoki Yamashita · IEEE Software · 2005
Conventional wisdom in the software engineering research community says that metrics can make project management more effective. Software metrics range from internal product attributes such as size, complexity, and modularity to external process attributes such as effort, productivity, and reliability. Software project telemetry facilitates local, in-process decision making.
