10.3.5.2 Individual Schedule Metrics
These metrics are just the same as the overall schedule metric except that these are
computed for each of the persons involved in the requirements engineering activity.
Why do we need these? By deriving this metric for each of the staff, we can ascertain
who is delivering the best performance and who the bottleneck in the delivery chain is.
10.4 Summary of Metrics
The Table
10.1
summarizes the metrics as relevant to requirements engineering
activity.
Table 10.1
Metrics relevant to requirements engineering
Metric
Purpose
Productivity metrics
To ascertain the efficiency of our performance
Gross productivity metric
1. Assists in cost estimation
2. Assists in estimating the resource requirements
Productivity for elicitation and
gathering
To assess the efficiency of elicitation and gathering
activity
Productivity for establishment of
requirements
To assess the efficiency of the establishment activity of
requirements
Resolving change request Metrics
To assess the impact of changes on the project
Requirements stability metric
To assess the volatility of requirements
Relative effort spent on a change
request category
To identify the change category which is causing more
change requests and thereby identify weak areas of
requirements engineering activities
Quality metrics
To assess the levels of quality of the deliverables of the
requirements engineering
Defect injection rate
To assess how well the requirements engineering is being
carried out in the project in the first iteration
Relative effort metrics
To assess the importance accorded to requirements
activity in the overall scheme of the project
Relative importance to requirements
engineering in the project
To assess the importance received by the requirements
engineering activity in the overall project
Quality control of URS and SRS
To assess if we spent reasonable amount of time in
quality control
Relative effort spent on resolving CRs
To assess if the time spent on resolving CRs is reasonable
Schedule metrics
To assess how well we are meeting the accepted
schedules
Overall schedule metric
To assess if we have met the schedule of the final delivery
of requirements engineering activity
Individual schedule metrics
To assess how well individual resources are meeting their
accepted schedules
