Measurements
A list of measurements that apply to the adoption of the Two-Level Project Planning practice.
Relationships
Main Description

The following metrics can be used to objectively measure how well your team is adopting the Two-Level Project Planning practice. 

These metrics are classified into three categories:

  • Measuring project completion
  • Measuring project quality
  • Measuring use of feedback 

Typically, you would start by selecting one or two metrics from each category, and then add to those over time. Initially, choose metrics from the core measurements set.

Measuring project completion

Core Measurements

  • Burndown Chart: to track progress of a project and show remaining estimated effort to complete all open work assigned to a project.
  • Iteration Velocity: to measure the capability of the team, or how much the team can achieve in an iteration so they can adjust the plan accordingly.

Supplementary Measurements

Measuring project quality

Core Measurements

  • Defect Density: to monitor the quality of the product during the development lifecycle, and to indicate the quality at customer-shipment time.
  • Code Coverage: to track what percentage of the code is executed by testing.

Measuring use of feedback

Core Measurements

Supplementary Measurements

  • Defect Trends: to monitor the defects that need to be fixed and adjust the plan accordingly.
