Measurement As a Powerful Software Management Tool (The McGraw-Hill International Software Quality Assurance Series)

Software development should be a process that can be measured, controlled and improved. This text shows software managers how measurement can be used as a powerful tool to support management in decision making. It demonstrates that effective measurement can help the increasingly widespread problems of poor control of the development process, poor communication and poor change management. The approach is evolutionary rather than revolutionary, within a business context, that can be easily implemented in practice.
