Synopsis
Managers and team leads can be blindsided by delivery issues they can't see coming when the things that keep them informed aren’t being measured. Successful teams select and use practical metrics for managing projects and tracking process improvement that align with their organizational objectives and software development method.
Software Development Metrics is a handbook for anyone who needs to track and guide software development and delivery at the team level. New development practices, including "agile" methodologies like Scrum, have redefined which measurements are most meaningful and under what conditions readers can benefit from them. It identifies key characteristics of organizational structure, process models, and development methods, and it describes the uses, mechanics, and common abuses of a number of metrics that are useful for steering and for monitoring process improvement. Another added feature of this book is that the insights and techniques in this book are based entirely on field experience.

Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Rillen / Abschurfungen / Risse / Knicke. This handbook is essential for anyone involved in tracking and guiding software development at the team level, such as project managers and team leads. With the rise of agile methodologies like Scrum, traditional measurements have evolved, and this book highlights which metrics are most relevant and beneficial under specific conditions. It identifies key characteristics of organizational structure, process models, and development methods, enabling you to select the right metrics for your team. The book covers the uses, mechanics, and common misuses of various metrics that aid in steering and monitoring process improvement, all based on field experience. Just as a car's measurements help prevent issues like speeding or running out of gas, effective metrics can significantly reduce the likelihood of project failures. You'll learn to gather, analyze, and utilize metrics that reflect your organizational structure and development methods. Practical techniques include building tools for tracking key metrics and creating data-driven early warning systems. The content is accessible, requiring no formal experience in metrics development or application. Key topics include identifying valuable metrics, differentiating between "improvement" and "change," and understanding common pitfalls. The author, an organizational transformation consultant and agile community member, provides insights drawn from real-world experience. Seller Inventory # 26495f1d-1595-4fcd-8a6a-d5658b1e8124
