New development practices, including agile methodologies like Scrum, have redefined which measurements are most meaningful and under what conditions you can benefit from them. This practical book identifies key characteristics of organizational structure, process models, and development methods so that you can select the appropriate metrics for your team. It describes the uses, mechanics, and common abuses of a number of metrics that are useful for steering and for monitoring process improvement. The insights and techniques in this book are based entirely on field experience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePurchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen driving a car, you are less likely to speed, run out of gas, or suffer engine failure because of the measurements the car reports to you about its condition. Development teams, too, are less likely to fail if they are measuring the parameters that matter to the success of their projects. This book shows you how. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSoftware Development Metrics\u003c\/i\u003e teaches you how to gather, analyze, and effectively use the metrics that define your organizational structure, process models, and development methods.
