Evangelos Markopoulos, Georgios Alexopoulos, Nikolitsa Bouzoukou · 2009
Project management and software project management in particular is about managing the implementation effort required towards the completion of a project in time, budget and quality. The management effort is based heavily on project tracking techniques and practices were the project implementation progress is closely monitored and analyzed. This paper presents a project tracking model based primarily on the project requirements and its implementation evolution through the project lifecycle. The tracking process is supported by a set of metrics which cumulatively collaborate, since day one of the project implementation, towards the interpretation of the real project progress via various measurements and results continuously. This live project tracking system is a metric binder analysis for software projects and initiatives, were more than 30 metrics are bind together, creating an accurate, practical and realistic picture of the project progress for the entire project or for any of its components, all the way down to its requirements.
